Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux - Happy Birthday, Brian!

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".

At midnight the music stopped and the audience started to sing. From now on, this was a birthday party, as Brian Auger turned 77 that night.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BRIAN!
