Jazz Concert Info

GALLEY SLAVE
The concert was very good (no doubt the Skipper would say brilliant...each to their own). It started out as a pianist and a drummer doing improvisation and for me just making a racket, then they were joined by 4 saxophonists and a base guitar player and more improvisational stuff and by the fourth piece I was beginning to doubt the leaflet we had found in the Tourist Office having any music I would know as advertised, buuuuuut they came good and played Glen Miller tunes, Dizzy Gillespie and the lady playing the piano was also the singer and she was very good until she song Honeysuckle Rose! All in all it was good and the calibre of playing was excellent.
So we promised ourselves we would have a last day in Pornichet and enjoy fish and chips again on Monday night and have a latte (my first coffee since leaving UK in a cafe/restaurant). Again it was lovely although not quite the latte from Costa and I shall stick to Cola or Oranginas till we see a Costa or even Starbucks!
So early start and off to the L’Île d’Yue for our next adventure which we have been led to believe is very beautiful and well worth a visit before our next hop to La Rochelle were we are thinking of staying this part of our adventure in before Tristan and Emily get married.
