Here’s more info on the  5ème Vully Blues Festival à Praz:

• Friday and Saturday; 9 and 10 November 2012
• sixteen bands will be playing in eight wineries (caveaux), one band per caveau per evening (although only 15 bands are listed at this time)
• the festival starts at 7:30pm Friday and 7pm Saturday. The timing of each band is staggered a bit so that there are always several bands playing. See the Programme.

There WILL be wine served…

Wanted to go watch Daniel Blanc perform at Lutry last week, but it was raining… Instead, listened to several of his songs via his DanielBlancandc website (note: songs autoplay when page loads).

Download the lyrics to C‘est bon babe, the first song on his homepage.

One great thing about looking up Daniel Blanc online - discovered a local blues club nearby who will be putting on a blues festival in November: the 5ème Vully Blues Festival à Praz. Looks like the bands will be playing in the local caveaux (wineries) — woohoo!

La caméra en balade - Paleo 2012 (by nyonregiontv)

July 17-22, 2012. Nyon, Switzerland. Impossible to get tickets - this video is the only way I could attend. :(

More info on the Paleo Festival with more video clips.

“La caméra en balade” means roughly: the camera on the go (via google translate), or the camera takes a stroll. Really, it means both and a bit more, too.
