Montréal en lumière - Montreal high lights festival

Ok, I know it's been an awful longtime since we last spoke ( well I wrote, you just read). So a couple of posts about what we've been up to this last month.
Besides the fact that winter is still here, and we are both swamped with work, we still manage to keep our lives very excited without a house, a mortgage, kids or a car.

Summer means festival time, but Montreal has a winter festival as well: Le Festival Montréal en lumière - Montreal high lights Festival. It's all about wine and dine, performing arts, underground footraces and so on.

We took our neighbour Anne to see the Spaghetti Western Orchestra. First time we saw this Aussie ensemble was at the Jazz fest, and we became big fans ever since. After a great show, we stayed outside in the freezing cold to gaze at the lunar eclipse.

A week later, our favourite Canadian Hawksley Workman was in town. He seems to be more popular in Europe than in Québec, because we've seen him 3 times in la petite Belgique and this is his one and only gig in Québec this year.

He played a lot of his old work switching between drums, piano, guitar, banjo. A true performer! And what great original live band.
