Preparing for the gig of my life. . Since I was a Preparing for the gig of my life.

Since I was a teenager I dreamt of (being a rockstar 🤫) playing at La Fête de la Musique, the French national music day.
.
Last year we were so blessed we had a small  window between Covid waves to play at @la_cave_roquefort and I totally loved it.
And we did it again for Christmas, outdoors in the cold!
.
This year we're on the main stage at @ville_roquefort_les_pins playing in front of hundreds of people and that gets me really excited.
.
Thank you to the music school and the town of Roquefort-Les-Pins for giving  us this opportunity and of course 🙏  to my band @south_attitude
