Yes, it’s April, so it must be Welcome in Tziganie – and it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the next event I’ll be cleaning my cameras for – I’ll be spending three days, from the Friday to Sunday the 28th of April in Seissan – it’ll probably rain, but we’re used to it now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the 4th year in Seissan, a village about 20 minutes South of Auch – initially the villagers were somewhat concerned about the arrival of these \u00ab\u00a0hippies\u00a0\u00bb who don’t seem to wash much, live in tents and eat vegetarian food (In the Gers???). But after a very successful first festival there in 2016, they welcome each new festival with open arms – and the municipality go to great lengths to modernise\/build\/adjust things to help accommodate both the artists and the visitors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see from the poster above, this year the rather well known film director (and guitarist) Emir Kusturica<\/strong> will be closing the festival on the Sunday evening. His \u00ab\u00a0No Smoking Orchestra<\/strong>\u00a0\u00bb will be interesting to photograph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been asked to take some photographs of Titi Robin’s<\/strong> set on the Saturday as he’ll be playing with a new group of musiciens and his publicist doesn’t have any recent shots of him, or them. I’ll do my best – but I hope they realize that publicity shots have to be paid for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the Friday there’s a group that I’ve already met and photographed when they played the Cri’Art in Auch in 2016 – La Caravan Passe<\/strong> – great group of guys, so it’ll be nice to meet up with them again. (Thomas, the singer, also appears in a band called <\/em>Soviet Supreme<\/em><\/strong> under the stage name of John Lennin!!<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly my favorite dancer Nuria<\/strong> Rovira Salat won’t be there this year – fingers crossed she’ll be back next year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
