Author: Music lovers who find themselves in the Dordogne this weekend will have plenty to choose from.
In addition to eclectic rock band We Insist‘s performance in Bartola bar in Perigueux this Saturday, Sudouest.com has published a round-up of several other gigs on offer throughout the department.
Tonight there will be gigs in both Perigueux and Lembras, each catering to markedly different tastes. The Vinyl Cafe in Lembras hosts a free gig for lovers of 60′s and 70′s rock music, with a performance from The Lemba Rzique between 1900 and 2100.
In Perigueux, the Toques beer bar will host blues band Brother Jack and Friends for a performance that starts at 2130. Admission is free.
On Saturday though, visitors to the Dordogne will be spoilt for choice; there will be 6 gigs in addition to We Insist.
Perhaps the most significant of the groups playing this weekend is the performance from Jazz artists Picture Post. Famous for their ethno-jazz, the group will be playing in the village hall of Eymet at 2045 on Saturday the 20th of February. The band has been together since 1987 and has shared the stage with Jazz luminaries such as Miles Davis, Tony Williams, Herbie Hancock and John MacLaughin. Admission is 10 euros and there will also be tapas served at the gig.
However, there will also be other gigs for fans of different genres, all of which are also free to attend.
The Vinyl cafe will host another performance at 1900 to 2100, this time from pop punk band The Choocoos; Sue and Elena.
Toques Beer bar in Perigueux will follow up Friday’s blues performance with another free gig at 2130. This time the artist will be Mr Miguel, a blues, soul and funk performer. Meanwhile, Thetards, another venue in Perigueux will host Malandos Os, a samba band from 2000 to 2100.
In Savignac-de-Miremont, pop-rock band Concert On/Off will play at the Moulin Du Souffron from 2000 to 2100.
Finally, in the town of Taste-Rossignol, le P’tit Rossignol presents ska band The King’s Tone at the same 2000-2100 time slot.
