Musicians don't allways play in smoky dirty places. They happen to to meet VIP in wonderful places !

We spent three days in the Golfe du Morbihan, for the "Week of the Gulf". The weather was very fine. We had a warm welcome by the team of the Recouvrance ship as the Crédit Agricole du Morbihan, the bank that put on this party.

We invite you to follow us on board by opening the picture book.

Tuesday december 22th, our friend Arvid Smith of the Tammerlin band was in our studio for a long day of music.

In the afternoon, he gave a wonderful master class to some lucky Jean-Luc's students.

Concert then, solo first, some blues with Jean-Luc, with the band Mary-Lou, and jam with many guests like Cristine, Marion Thebault, Jean-Paul Raffin of the Lonesome Day band, our piano player, Stéphane Dhondt who sung 2 songs of his new piano solo show, and many others.

Arvid, after a few days of private holidays, left Europe on december 28th. We will keep wonderful memories of that day. THANK YOU ARVID !
