Jazz au Caveau

21st April 2009

Bit late finding this, really...  However, there's a lovely series of jazz evenings taking place in the cellars of the Abbaye de Caunes-Minervois.

A tray of copious tapas, large glass of wine and concert - all for 20 euros! 

We went last Friday night to see a band called Trio Bergin.  They were excellent and sang in a variety of styles from jazz and swing to the French traditional chansonnier.

All the tables were decorated with flowers and candles and the atmosphere is just lovely in the vaults of the abbey cellar. 

The next event is on Friday 15th May when the band are Gospel Bayou Brothers who play a mix of soul and afro-american blues.  Places are limited so it's best to book at the Office de Tourisme in Caunes-Minervois: 0468 78 09 44 e-mail: otsi@caunesminervois.com
