DelMonte and the Kadman need not apply!

Well - ye can if ye want, but from comments previous I think it's fair to say it wouldn't be your scene, at all at all.

Anyhow, in recent years I used to post/bump this invitation on Boards and had some interest, until Covid stopped play. But we're back in business, and sure maybe there's one or two of the other Gubeens who might be at a loose end this July:

Fancy a cheap holiday in central France?

Free food, free drink, free condoms (while stocks last), free music/dance/dance lessons/language lessons (no French necessary ) & tent/airbed provided, in exchange for 6 hours easy work per day. Minimum stay 13-18th July, but arrangements can be made for a longer stay if necessary.

Le Son Continu is a four-day festival of (mostly European) traditional music, an acoustic instrument-makers' fair and a lot of dance, to some of the best bands you've never heard of. Two main dance floors, with full sound and light, and four additional dancefloors for improv and impromptu performances. Plus one main concert stage for the old folks, who just want to sit and listen to something and get to bed early!

A 3-minute sample of the festival's 100 hours here:

For kadman's benefit, here's a video of (amongst others) the dancing damsels that attract me to the back end of beyond on many a weekend. This one cleverly synchronises about a dozen different dances with one piece of music, and captures the after dark spirit better than most:

Feckin hippies!

[CelticRambler]

Much the same sentiment as expressed by my mother!

I love that kind of music. Stuff like No Crows do, and in a bigger way, production wise, Afro Celt Sound System. The fusion of global folk sounds and gypsy swing vibe. It would be my stranded forever on a desert island have to pick one kind of music out of all the good possibilities choice. Just very uplifting.

You crafty old bugger. The only reason you used my name and Del's name was to draw a crowd to this thread
Otherwise who else would be interested in your frollicking in the woods with fair madens, and calling it dancing

Go way you gurrier

Sounds like a royal auld do. Go for it

Oh it is. I've been going for it for the last fifteen years ... which is why I get half the castle to call my own for six days!

I'd be well up for this if I wasn't going to a wedding at that time. As it happens I'll already be in France for Giles Peterson's Worldwide Festival in Sete and the wedding in Paris.
