A huge turn out watched Mirepoix Folk and Shanty (Incorporating The AudeShantyMen) as they performed on the main stage of the market hall during Mirepoix's famous Fete de la Pomme on Sunday 21 October.
The crowd were treated by the group to renditions of some traditional folk arrangements, which were being given their first public airing, as well as some of their well known sea shanties.
A rapt audience was enthusiastic both in its appreciation and participation during the better known songs and those sung in the French language were particularly well received by the crowd of mixed nationalities.
It was the first time that live music had been scheduled for this part of the festival and the organisers greatly thanked the group for the lively performance which attracted such a large audience.
