Hello
The moon is getting bigger so its nearly time for the Balade au Clair de la Lune

This is a litlle family friendly festival, organised by the Associations Mama Musique and CAEB; each full moon during the summer we have a free concert and the chance to take a moonlite pony trek into the Brocéliande forest. (Brittany France)

This year as well as the groups that are playing (you can see the full line up here

http://mama.musique.free.fr/ballade_au_claire_de_la_lune.html

there is also a "scene ouvert" where you can show off your musical tallents? If you are interested in playing us a few tunes or singing a couple of songs either this month Friday 1 Juin, or on any of the other dates, drop us a note....(and post on this tread to keep it visible)




regards

Kara

That looks fun. It's good to see a notice here about things happening outside the English speaking world.

Riding through a French forest at full moon... What about the werewolves?

No werewolves hopefully...but look out for Merlin!

Tréhorenteuc where this fest appears to be held is great - there's a Church of the Holy Grail with some amazing modern stained glass. I think it was all done up about 40-50 years ago by the parish priest who's commemorated by a statue outside. Memory a bit hazy as I had been on the vin rouge!

There are no end of other sites in the area (Brocéliande)relating to the Breton version of the Arthurian legends. Places like Merlin's Grave - three or four big collapsed stones in the middle of a wood. Quite weird as persons unknown have left little tokens like notes, ribbons, flowers etc stuffed into the cracks and hung from the trees. Really is like going back 2000 years or so.

well it was cancelled due to extreme weather. The next full moon is tomorrow night and we are all praying to our respective Gods that there will be a sun and moon to set and rise.
hopefully we'll get a load of great photos and everyone will have huge fun...
