France is one of my absolute favourite countries in the world. Were I ever to be forced to pick a single country to visit for the rest of my life, I'd pick France. It has everything - beaches, mountains, beautiful cities, great food, and the best wine on the planet. Plus, I like the people and speak the language passably well.Touring here is also fun. The audiences may take a little more time to warm up but, being British, we see that as a challenge and somehow relish the opportunity to bring our A game. Audiences do vary hugely around the world, and it's important (as when teaching a room full of children) to work out the best way to reach each person, and take them where you want them to go. I'm not meaning to be patronising, just to illustrate the point.Last night we performed for an established local concert series in a Parisienne suburb, and today we head slightly further out of the capital for what promises to be another fun show for a similar promoter. The great thing about this small trip is that everything has been entirely predictable, from the flight over to the location of the local boulangerie and bistro opposite our hotel. It's comforting to know that you can head over for a cheeky baguette (or even some naughty patisserie) whenever you need.You can be sure of talking points whenever there's a concert in France. Last night it was our chosen title of the programme, "The best of British." "Ah, Brexit eh?" said more than one audience member after the concert. Um, yes, but that wasn't quite our intention when putting together the music of Byrd, Tallis, Britten et al. I suppose that in these crazy times even music isn't immune from politics...
