    French music, right?

    Andy is good at this kind of thing. He does it with Blowzabella - an English band who play a lot of French stuff.

    I heard a lot of it St Chartier Festival in 2007 in Central France. It's now called Le Son Continu and has moved to a nearby village.

    Very different to most festivals I've been to. Fantastic actually.

    A pair of French schottisches. The first one is La Sansonette ('The Starling') https://thesession.org/tunes/2636 , composed by Dominique Forges. The second one is very familiar to me (traditional, as far as I know), but I'd have to phone a friend to find the name.

    Edit: I was save a phone call, as it turns out, as the second tune has been identified here https://thesession.org/discussions/45662 as Schottische à Vermoux.

    Here’s my humble recording of The Starling that I did a couple of days ago.
    Didn’t get the same rhythm though...
