Right well that’s over for another year then. It was strangely quite a lot less stressful than I imagined it was going to be…and not staying until the bitter end each night\/morning was a good move too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first evening, Friday, the headliners were a group I’ve photographed before at the Cri’Art in Auch – \u00ab\u00a0La Caravane Passe\u00a0\u00bb – the nice thing about this group of musiciens is that it’s a dynamic set right from the start, which makes it a whole lot more interesting to photograph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olivier actually remembered me from their concert at the Cri’Art – possibly because we spent most of our time talking about his home town Perpignan!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday was unusually dry – I can’t remember a \u00ab\u00a0Welcome\u00a0\u00bb weekend where it hasn’t rained – the irony of the situation was that the town of Seissan, where the festival was held, have recently invested a lot of money in covering the otherwise unprotected concrete seating – don’t worry, I feel sure it’ll rain next year…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The headliner forSaturday was the virtuoso guitarist Titi Robin. He had contacted me before arriving to find out if I could do some publicity shots for him and his (3) bands….of course, Mr Robbin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On stage, it was a different story – much more colourful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday was THE day – the rather well known headliner arrived very discretely and gave no interviews…but when he arrived on stage, everyone knew who he was…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the ‘pit’ where the photographers were, we were all asking ourselves if the Kalashnikov bullets were real…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So all in all a lot less tiring than usual, the food was excellent as usual, and I met up with a great crowd of people that I meet up with every year, as usual. This was my 7th…I wonder if I get a chocolate when I get to ten…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PS<\/strong> With over 5000 images I hd a lot to sort through…and this one popped up after I’d processed the others – I love it, but understand if I’m in a minority…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
