I had an awesome time travelling and playing in France this year.

Drove my way down to Nimes and back via many mountainous areas.

I even did some solo piano busking on random street corners aswell as the usual shows with the full looping rig.

I also got to be a tourist in between the concerts and managed to catch some of the amazing views and sites that France had to offer including the epic Pont Du Gard.

The Pont Du Gard itself in all its glory.

And although some of the journeys were a little hazardous:

Yes I may have driven down this road despite the warning sign.

Fortunately despite taking some pretty perilous roads at times my tour van has come out unscathed (more or less). the sign above was fair example of the chaos that lay ahead but there was one road that was not signed that turned into a dirt road I would never ask my worst enemy to drive down. Even remembering fills me with dread as it was also the middle of the night at the time.

But nine the less all concerts went ahead as planned and as I type this I am amid my german run of shows.

Also my final French show saw me reunite with beat boxer ‘Nonox’ for another improv session:
