1:00 pm. - Meet at the rehearsal studio.
Ok guys, everything will be there, take only your instruments, your effects, the minimum. Let's go! Travel with two cars.
2.30 pm - A very warm welcome "Aux Bonheurs Landais" in the "Pays de Gex" (Country of Gex) in Prévessin-Moëns town, on the Swiss border, French side. The Restaurant "Aux Bonheurs Landais" is a well know Gastronomic place there. Conviviality. Music very often with thematic evenings: jazz, rock, blues, etc.. Today they organized with "Et Alors..." the official day of music fest: June 21. Music scheduled from 11:30 am to late at night.
