CHAT FINISHED

Hi,

Already posted there on Electrospirit.net but I put this info here too.

JMJ will certainly be part of the Powerstock Festival. Date : 27 July 2007.
With Unesco, an ecological concert in the line of Aalborg and Water For Life

Official announcement : 20 April

Video - JMJ’s Interview about Powerstock Festival

Here some italian info:
http://www.lswn.it/festival/2007/powerstock_festival

It is an electronic music festival and Jarre seems to be on programming on the image above. Add the video link of JMJ, and it becomes a real project !!

If JMJ goes to Italy, it will be very cool for all western fans of Europe
Waiting for some news, perhaps, from the Powerstock organization. I've contacted them.

I had some " confirmation ".

JMJ will be at the Powerstock Festival as the testimonial of this event as UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador, according to the Powerstock Festival's organisation. If the discussions are going to a good way ( can I say that in English ? ^^ ), there is a good chance for a concert but it's too earlier at this time. Waiting for some official news !

Kind Regards

YäY, thanks a lot !
But where is that exactly ?

Italia, in the windmills park of the village of Albanella ( near to Salerne in South Italia )

Albanella : 6314 inhabitants, altitude : 205m.

Oh, too bad, that's way much too far from me
I wish it were near to France

http://www.powerstock.org/
No info there apart from a nice looking picture.

Hmm, JM spoke about real problems, in serious mode!

Nice! Wanna go!!!!!
