This Saturday at the Château Gead Mulheran and his band of Blues & Rock musicians entertained us with renditions of old classics, reminiscent of P.J. Proby and Little Richard together with studded belt and rich, powerful vocals. Coming from Manchester but now living near Sête on the ‘Bassin de Thau’ on the Mediterranean coast. All were up and dancing their worries away till 1.00a.m in the morning. There was no slow dancing and for those of us who embarrassed ourselves dancing ‘the twist’ and ‘the jive’ there was compensation in the fact that we were too old to care what we looked like! We served a hot buffet of home smoked Salmon, Seafood paella, braised lamb with a Madeira glaze and a hot steamed white chocolate pudding to name just a few of the dishes. With all these money worries around the world and bad weather, I think that a bit of fun is in order. Really kitsch but hey, who cares. We all made fools of ourselves; it was very cathartic. Too busy to be fed up but not too bored to ‘go for it’!!
