I have been back for a couple of weeks from Europe now and straight back into touring. I'm currently in Australia so it's kind of ironic that I write about Europe now.
I spent 5 weeks traveling through France, visiting agents who organize festivals etc.
I also met with various French musicians who I might want to collaborate with in future. Overall it was a very good trip and I hope that many of the things that we talked about will come to fruition. I also met with Joni and Roland who want to set up a guitar workshop for me in the south -east of France. I stayed for 3 days at Joni's house to discuss things and what bliss it was! Have a look at her wonderful place. Just outside the gate is the village petanque court where the locals play. By the way the house is currently on the market so if you ever dreamed of living in style in France- here is your chance!
On the way to Provence I stumbled over Glanum near St Remy de Provence, the ruins of a Roman settlement that were excavated. You can see clearly where the baths and temples were, I can highly recommend visiting it.
