With the support of many enthusiasts and volunteers Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux hosts the "Soul Funk Festival" ( formerliy known as "Soul Jazz Festival) already since 16 years. The stage is erected in front of marie in the center of the small town (pop 8700). The festival´s logo is screened onto the walls of the old cathedral´s apse during the warm summer nights. True Loves, a young band formed by guitarist Jimmy James, who was a member of the Delvon Lamar Organ Trio before, is very interesting, as there is a very srong brass section interacting with Jimmy´s guitar.

The New Mastersounds are a jazz/blues/funk band, founded end of the 90s in Leeds and meanwhile based in Denver. Eddie Roberts (guitar), Simon Allen (drums), Pete Shand (bass) and Joe Tatton (hammond) feel home in Saint Paul Trois Chateau, as far as I remember I saw them every year I visited the festival. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJM5BmwskAY

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.

Since more than a decade Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux hosts the "Saint Paul Soul Jazz" festival The London band "The Snitch" entered the stage - and powerful raw funk wowed the audience. The excitement exploded, when Coco Buttafli, soul sister from Detroit, joined them. This was Coco´s first concert in Europe, and Coco, the "Boss Lady", and "The Snitch" had met the first time here in Saint Paul. After just a few hours of rehearsal they hit the stage - and their performance was terrific. Coco taking a selfie, behind her thrilled audience. The end of the really funky evening.
