Charlie Winston plays Carcassonne, entertainment for Languedoc Roussillon villa holidaymakers

Charlie Winston plays Carcassonne, entertainment for Languedoc Roussillon villa holidaymakers on Thursday, August 5, 2010 at the Jean Deschamps theatre in the Cite Medievale.

I first came across Charlie Winston when I saw him in concert at the roman arena in Nimes last year and I was blown away by how enjoyable his music was, by what an entertainer he is and by the reaction of the predominantly French public.

Here was a British artist I had never even heard of (and I like to think I’m fairly in tune with what’s going on even if I am no longer hip and young) and yet the crown seemed to know the words of practically every song, they adored him like he was Jonny Holiday.

We had gone along to see Duffy and ended up joining the legion of Charlie Winston followers. The fact that the French love him so much, for his charming English ways, his accent when he speaks French and his varied sing along, dance along music render a Charlie Winston concert in France extra special. The crowd goes mad and Charlie rises to the occasion.

Languedoc Roussillon villa holidaymakers often go along to Carcassonne to visit the amazing medieval citadel and soak up its massive history. For some it’s a visit to do on the way to catching the plane back to the UK with Ryanair who pluckily started flights there when few had even heard of Carcassonne.

During the summer months from June to Mid August the city puts on the Carcassonne Festival which features Art, Theatre and Music concerts of considerable quality. Amongst this years performers Bob Dylan, Simple Minds and Motorhead also feature.
