Once again, father and son reunite, this time to celebrate the extraordinary bond between DJA and a special place known as Limonest, guided by the legendary figure of Andre Gicquel. Since 1989, this cross-channel connection has flourished through exchanges, tours, and unforgettable concerts that have united young musicians on both shores.
Prepare for a rollicking ride as John's distaste for oysters rivals Mark's painful first encounter with French cuisine. Amidst laughter and memories, they reminisce about their French comrades, regaling tales of whirlwind schedules encompassing three gigs a day and narrowly escaping brushes with the law!
But the jovial mood takes a serious turn as Mark launches into a tirade against ineffectual politicians and laments the stark disparities in arts support between the UK and its European counterparts. Through their banter and reflections, a poignant truth emerges: the power of music to transcend borders and unite hearts, a testament to the enduring legacy of friendship and collaboration fostered by DJA and its French allies in Limonest.
