Walking Tree Festival, August 16-18 2019

Well, here we are back from the Walking Tree festival in Saint Martin du Bois in the 49.
For those who don’t know it, it’s a festival that highlights world music and artistic practices.
To give you an idea of the scale of the thing, this year entries were capped at 3000.

It’s not focused exclusively on didgeridoo even though you can run into a huge number of players and makers there. Maybe you’ll find your treasure one day :wink:

And this year it was wet. So we headed home earlier.
I’ve been going for 3 years and this is the first time.
Then again with a 6-month-old, when it rains, everything gets more complicated at a festival :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
I’m not going to dwell on it, I’ll just leave you a few photos.
As for the groups, all the info and links are on the festival website:








Hey, a Korn Bass!!!

Wooden driftwood didgeridoo from Flyroots.

We took the time to chat with its very friendly owner (who, every year, offers beginner lessons).

Question for @gautier: What do you think of beginner players who play on the side to get pleasure from blowing before they move to playing straight on, so they don’t get frustrated :wink:?

The debate is open here, I reckon:
