Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux - Brian Auger's Oblivion Express

Since more than a decade Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux hosts the "Saint Paul Soul Jazz" festival.

Brian Auger is a legend!

I was very touched, as he brought back some memories to the late 60s, when I used to spend the summer holidays in "Swinging London", wearing proudly my "Marquee Club" button badge.

About 40 years ago I had seen Brian Auger´s Trinity with Julie Driscoll in London - on a "Road to Cairo".

Alex Ligertwood (vocals) started his career as well in the late 60s. He was a member of Brian´s Oblivion Express already in the 70s and later worked with Santana for many years.
