Les Clochards playing at the University of Oxford Botanic Gardens, Saturday 18 July 2009

Salut les copains

Les Clochards will be playing in the idyllic surroundings of the University of Oxford Botanic Garden on the afternoon of Saturday 18 July. It starts at 2pm, admission is just the price of entry to the Garden (£3 I think). Bring a picnic and hope for sunshine – if it rains we’ll be playing in the greenhouse among the chilli plants. Suggestions for flora- and fauna-related tunes most welcome – we’ll start the ball rolling with Love Me Tendril.

This is our last outing before the summer break – thanks to everyone who’s attended our gigs so far this year, it’s been a blast!
