Having visited Samois for the last 6 years, this year I found myself wondering if I had come to the wrong festival. Where was the Gypsy Jazz on the Festival program? I am no stickler for tradition, but I do feel that in a festival which bears Django's name, the booked artistes should include, if not a majority, at least a 50% portion of Gypsy Jazz. a lot of the acts were very entertaining, but this year was more like WOMAD than Samois.
Next year I think I'll save on the price of a Festival ticket, and just hang around the camp sites and bars.
