I’ve just produced and edited a slideshow of Alain Dister’s pictures for the French National Library (BNF). This was made for a kind of symposium to celebrate the 40 years of Woodstock Music and Art Festival, at the BNF on june, 2009.
A lot of fun listening to old french hippies.

As I was scanning old pictures, I’ve just found this one, took in Annalong, Nothern Ireland. Memories of hitch-hicking all around the country as I was 15.
If you want to travel to this place from your desk, listen to The kitchen Sessions, a unique series of traditional music radio programmes broadcast live from homes in County Clare.

After a week in France to participate to the exhibition Tbilissi Underground in Nantes, my friends Temo Djavakhishvili, Lado Burduli, Niko Tsetskhladze and Kote Kubaineshvili are now back in Georgia. Hope they have enjoyed their trip and that the public appreciated their works.
Gaumadjos !
