The Carcassonne Festival is a fantastic, month-long festival with numerous concerts! It's always a pleasure to spend a few nights here during the festival. Most concerts are free – and the nights can be very long. I first saw Caravan Palace ten years ago in Nice. I was very impressed and have seen them live twice more since then. Their sound is rooted in the swing music of the 1920s and the music of Django Reinhardt, but they have developed it into "electro swing" catapulting the dance music into the 21. century. The band has sligtly changed over the last ten years. Of course we all got older and the stage performing has changed a bit including now a kind of LED-light show. Frontwoman and singer Zoé Colotis is still the center of the show and thrills the audience. It was truly a remarkable concert, though the evening ended in pouring rain later.

Les Fatals Picards celebrated their 25th anniversary in 2025 and are therefore a very experienced band that knows how to thrill their audience. They combine rock music with elements of French chanson and have a great stage performance.

A great evening in the "Théâtre Jean-Deschamps", where the majority of the audience was British, thanks to the English rock band "Status Quo". I do not have a record player any more, but still own "Pictures of a Matchstick Man", a 45pm-single from 1968. "Status Quo" is on the stage since about 50 years. The hard working gentlemen really gave a great performance in Carcassonne. Here is "What You're Proposing" - and much more.. www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2EDcl3FQWE

Meanwhile both are "Officers of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire" (OBE). Here is "Whatever you want".. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUki5WZq-VE
