Martin M. Miles' photos with the keyword: Fête Du Cognac

Cognac is the home of the world reknown French brandy, named after the town. In summer the town hosts, supported by hundreds of volunteers, the "Fête Du Cognac", a festival combining food, drinks - and music. I had seen "Caravan Palace" a year ago in Nice and a later again in Hamburg´s Mojo Club. Their performance on stage is great, even more energetic, than a year before. The music is a fast and powerful "electric swing" influenced by sounds from Django Reinhardt to Daft Punk. Frontwoman Zoé Colotis is a vibrant vocalist and a phantastic dancer. Members of Caravan Palace (beside Zoé) are Charles Delaporte (double bass), Hugues Payen (violin), Antoine Toustou (trombone), Arnaud Vial (guitar), Camille Chapelière (clarinet/sax.), Paul-Marie Barbier (vibraphone). The band is based in Paris - Cognac turned into Paris during their performance - the audience was thrilled - and danced... After the show... Zoe looks very happy and exhausted. This was a great performance! www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7JOa3dISg0

Wooden knives are for sure very safe, but they are as well very impracticable.
