Thread Name: Lorient festival experiences?
Subject: RE: Lorient festival experiences?
We went in the late eighties but were pretty inexperienced festival goers at that time.

All concerts were individually booked and I don't think week-end season tickets were available.

There were late night bar sessions but as we were staying some 15 miles distant and had kids in tow, we didn't stay too late.

The highlight was 'Bagad Kemper' that we encountered practising in a glade in the park. They were mind-blowing and went on to win the final of the bagpipe competition. Not only did they feature the usual bombards , highland pipes, snare drums, breton pipes, but also bongos!

Have a great time!!!
