Re: Tickets

        Last big concerts I saw: Pink Floyd at the Chateau de Versailles and 
the Stones in Paris. Last century. When? I don't remember. Never mind. 
Expensive. I don't want any more to pay to stand in a crowd and watch a SCREEN.

        There's a little concert hall (200 people) in my hometown, Rochefort, 
in an ancient powder magazine, part of the arsenal. If you have a look at its 
site, you can see the program:

        Usually, there's a local band playing first. I don't want to lie and 
say they're all extraordinary! But it's a good thing to give them the 
opportunity to play…

        Last Sunday, we had the Londoners THE BISHOPS. They even shot a video:

        I really enjoy going to such a place, being close to the musicians and 
feel the bass vibrating in my bones!.. Most of the times I'm glad to discover 
talented people I didn't know before (Jim Yamouridis, Nibs Van Der Spuy…).

        Oh, yes, how much? 6,50 or 7 €.

        That doesn't mean I'll never more go to a big gig. But I appreciate 
having such opportunities (5 mn drive from home…).
