Every summer the town of Cahors (46 Lot, Midi-Pyrenees) hosts its Blues Festival (not Fete des Bleus!) and this year it runs from 16 -22 July 2006.
Cahors is one of our favourite french towns nestled in the bend of the River Lot and now mercifully by-passed by both the N20 and new A20 autoroute between Limoges and Montauban/Toulouse.
In addition to the main events and concerts for serious Blues enthusiasts, this year will see more street and café blues music to waft you through the town (Le Blues au coeur de la ville). I'm not really very knowledgeable about Blues music, although I enjoy it when I'm in the mood - so "Freddy Red and the Hot Rails" or "The Hoochie Coochie Men" don't mean much to me - but I do remember "Canned Heat" ("On the Road Again") a legendary American Blues/Rock band from the late 60s who are appearing on Wednesday 19 July - see www.cahorsbluesfestival.com/ for more details of the festival.
