Once a year in France, they have the Day of Music, a day that anyone can play music wherever they want. But it's not only amateurs who can play, cities also organize musical events with professional musicians.

The city of  Feck'em (also known as Fecamp); not only organized a music festival, but also a festival of the sea, involving boats and all products from the sea. But the highlight of the weekend was the Celtic Legends concert and show on Saturday evening. So Trish and I climbed on the BMW motorcycle and headed over to Feck'em.

Everywhere you could see bands playing music:

At 22:30, it was time for the Irish dancers:

Dancers and live music made it a real Irish evening.

The show was well executed on a large stage.

There were 1000's of spectators for this free show. For the photograph amateurs, this photo was taken in the pitch dark, at 15,000 ISO!

We stayed for a little bit over an hour.

Here's the last photo (at 6400 ISO) of the stage and public. At the far end, you can see some of the restaurants and the new museum being built.
