France and Italy
Posted in Uncategorized on 08/31/2009 10:56 am by MarkWe have had a great time so far in our travels, although the weather has been a little hot, with temperatures of around 38 deg in Paris for our gig in the Auld Alliance. After paris we headed south to Orleans where we had another great evening in the St Andrews pub and met some great French musicians.
After some more long drives we made our way to the South of France for a few more gigs in Toulon and then over to a small town near Avignon for more great tunes followed by a few days of traveling over towards Italy stopping briefly in Monte Carlo (only to get moved on by the police for busking
before heading into Italy. We hearly got tempeted by one of the wee boats but don’t think we’ll make quite enough from this tour…..

In Italy we stopped over in Bologna and then headed to Forli where we had a great gig in a beautiful old church with the Box full of Treasures folk club.
