Booby Trap - Friday 18th June
This time, definitely a trio, Booby Trap are billed as a Rythm n' Blues band with a liberal sprinkling of 60's soul and rock. Well, that's what it says in the blurb! Check them out on the night.

First up is rock band Marilouiz. Now the last time they appeared in St. Céré was back in 2008 and we wrote at the time:

"if you missed them... try to pitch-up when next they are booked into the Au Passé Simple. Quite when that might be, we are not sure, for the bookings list on their MySpace page looks pretty full."

That was in the days when we used to cover live music nights! If you would like to read the archived report of the evening, click the image above or this link.
