New Order live @ Les Vieilles Charrues (FR) 2005.07.22

Where is it? Will it be hard to get tickets? What other bands will be there?

I'll be in England at the time so it might be worth making an effort.

Cheers for the info

I might just be interested in this one

The definitive programm will be annonced on april 29th...

http://www.vieilles-charrues.com/

The pictures on their website might be deceptive, but it looks huuuuuuge.

And, more importantly, very sunny indeed.

According to Yahoo France this is confirmed.

NEW ORDER en CONCERT

24 juillet 2005 Festival Les Vieilles Charrues - Carhaix, France

The official site of the Festival http://www.vieillescharrues.asso.fr/ is in French, and states that the line-up will be reveiled Apr. 29th.

Stay tuned!

New Order confirmed for Friday the 22nd July

Yahoo France was wrong

Al Jarvis was right

Damned! That's a poor website!!! Who designed that? How do you find out, where the festival is or how to get there? My french is not good enough, maybe the french-speaking around here could help.

It seems they don't want foreign people to come to their festival...

Strange, your nation didn't need directions twice last century. No internet then.

Seriously though, if you have problems like this stick a section in google and use the translator

Well, thank you for that comment... Don't know what to answer, either it's 1.) I'm a bit sick of those comments, no-one can choose where he's born, or it is 2.) give me a tank, and I'll find that f***ing festival.

Good answer!

Sorry about that, no offence meant, Friday afternoon drink and a certain Fawlty Towers episode started appearing before my eyes.

You're right about the information being in French only which is a little odd considering the organisers go to huge effort with transport arrangements, more than any other festival. Theres a link below which should start giving travel arrangements over the next few weeks. There are still sites showing last years arrangements, it seems there were a few trains put on from various locations.

Good news is its only 26 Euros for a day ticket.

travel to Carhaix

no problem. cheers, mate

anyone got the name of the largest town close to the site, google keeps sending me down south.

Rennes and Brest are nearby. Look at this map.

Yes indeed! Still haven't figured it out yet Can you tell me how to get a ticket, Old Monkey. By the looks of the website i get the idea that they give you a list of towns and shops where to buy them? Can't find any online-ordering possibilities Thanks

Try www.ticketnet.fr - they have a link to the festival tickets, and an English option (though half of that is still in French!).

done! Wasn't easy, but i finally managed. Thanks.

Yees, ticket just arrived. Now need to sort out accommodation etc! Anyone else going? Al?

It's a 3 day festival, but the Order are playing the Friday 22nd. Tickets were €37.50 including booking fee. It probably won't sell out, but accommodation may be hard to come by. We'll probably need to co-ordinate some drivers for this one and stay a bit further afield!

I would be tempted to drive if i could pick up 3 passengers who share the costs

---

The gig is in Carhaix Plouguer.

Some ideas..............................................

It's 6 hrs drive (400km) from Le Havre, so would be tricky to do on the Friday, would need to get ferry to LH Thurs morning and drive down to arrive Thurs evening.

Or is 3 hrs drive (170km) from Saint Malo, so would be easy if we could get a ferry to SM for the Friday morning.

Or Cherbourg is 350km away.

Alternatively it's 1 1/2 hrs drive (90km) from Brest ( has airport ) Nearer towns with airports... Morlaix, Lannion, Saint Brieuc

Portsmouth Saint Malo appears to only have 1 sailing/day leaving at 20:30, arrive 08:15 costs GBP 350 -> 600 for 5 people in a minibus. ( includes 2 cabins, 4 berth ) Return ferry leaves 10:45 arrives Porstmouth 18:30. ( I got one quote for a people carrier, 350 and another for a minibus 600 ).

Aaarrrggghh!!!! I was totally up for this but the logistics are terrifying!! I'm assuming Mr Giles' post about the cricket above was tongue in cheek??

6 Hours drive?!nah.. about 3 the way i drive

tried to get tickets off the site but my french is faaar to rusty to manage it! i know billet is french for ticket but after that i started to get confused!!

I've got my ticket. Haven't spent much time working out the logistics yet, but it looks as though a flight/Eurostar to Paris may be a decent first port of call. Then a train to Rennes and on from there into Brittany. Miles from anywhere, already doubting that it will be easy to leave on the Friday and get there on the Friday - may need some specialist advice from Andy Rob on how they are tackling it!

Then there's the little issue of finding somewhere to stay in the middle of nowhere! If anyone does fancy a car/bus share it makes good sense, Eurotunnel and then straight down the coast road from Calais, the across into Brittany.....

Would certainly be up for that: we can (almost) fill a minibus, surely?? And I'd be happy to share driving responsibilties too....

A topic for discussion in the pub (before we get too pissed) at Hyde Park, then?

btw just saw the (latest?) programming: it gives Deep Purple(!) as headliners?? Hope this is not true, weel, my 61 year old father-in-law who's joining me, will be pleased:D

If you're into campings & tents i believe there is plenty of options around the festivalsite. I fear not to much hotels going on, the ones in the Village might be booked for long already. I am going for a 10 to 11 hour drive followed by collapsing in a tent Can't wait!!

yeh this one looked easy at first glance - just across the channel etc. but it's not quite Paris - anyway this is my best attempt at getting there from London leaving on the Friday am:

Train - Paddington 10:05am -> Exeter 12:08pm ( returning Sat pm £58 ) Flight - Exeter 13:55 -> Brest 15:45 ( returning Sat pm £69 ) That just leaves the small matter of getting to and from Brest to Carhaix Plougher - looks like an hours drive. Options car hire (?), taxi (?), bus/train - sure one of these is a goer. Anyway have ordered ticket - this appeal to anyone?

Sounds like a plan - will investigate further! A lot easier than Eurotunnel and down the coast, that's for sure.

Plane goes from Southampton to Brest too, which is probably a lot easier from London.

Hmm sounds a lot more appealing than driving from the UK

Still sure it cant beat the beaches in Barca ;)

Just looking at the rail option, it's actually pretty reasonable and quick to get the Eurostar to Paris and then a TGV to Rennes, connecting at Rennes for Carhaix. You can get the internal French journeys at the same time as Eurostar now. Looking at £49 to Rennes, arriving there at 1.30pm, and leaving Rennes at 1.05pm on the Saturday, arriving back in Waterloo at 18.56. Rennes is about 200km from Carhaix by the look of it, both served with rail links.

It's actually the same price to stay on the TGV train and head straight for Brest - will check the route to see if thisis easier than changing at Rennes. Certainly a lot closer!

Result. TGV from Paris to Brest stops at Guingamp, we oculd hop off there and connect to Carhaix easily from there. Will probably be as quick as rail/flight from London to Brest via Southampton, and cheaper!

I will be booking this option this evening if others think it is feasible - off to Greece tomorrow so won't be able to book for a few days otherwise!

raileurope.com and sncf.fr both have English options, and eurostar.co.uk now allows you to extend your journey into France and works out costs etc. Getting to Guingamp from Waterloo will cost £99, all high-speed all the way. Connection to Carhaix takes an hour. Booking more than 21 days in advance means we don't have to stay Saturday night to get the best prices!

I will where me long shorts

wear not where

Right then: if Jarvis thinks it's a tricky 'un I'm definitely going.

Plan is to drive, kip in the car, and drive back like a scummy fucker. Ooooh, it'll be like being 18 again....;)

I'm still up for driving (avec tent if needs must)

Drive from ... from Aber-fcuking-deen?!

Looking into maybe getting a cottage. Of course, everything in a 20mile radius has fawkin' gone already!!

Cottaging in France eh? What was it you said about Mark going to the cricket?

anyone got any further info on timings? - given that whichever mode of transport pans out, it's still gonna take all day to get down there - the programme info on the site is not at all clear!

Looks fairly clear that Norder are supporting Deep Purple!

Smoke on the Water

Right, looks like Eurostar and then TGV train is quickest way of doing it, then hope its warm or there's a blag chance somewhere! Logistical mare though, that's for sure. Still, it has to be done.

Also,why couldn't they be playing Greece this weekend instead of Germany?!

Ticket ordered today

What's going on then with this one? Who's got tickets, and what are the plans for getting there? We have about a week left to get discount Eurostar tickets that don't require a Saturday night stay in France to secure the best price.

Latest update on this one, there's a Eurostar that leaves Waterloo at 8.12am that gets to Paris at 11.47am, connection to Gare Montparnasse on Metro 4 will take half an hour, then it's the 13.05 TGV8621 to Guingamp (16.30pm). At Guingamp there are special buses laid on to take people to the venue. This now costs £79.50 (and £49.50 back), but it is probably easier and cheaper than train to Southampton, flying to Brest and then the hour back to Carhaix, and it is a hell of a lot easier than the all-day drive!

I reckon im gonna try and get the Friday off and do this one. As i cant do T in the park cos im at the Grand Prix that weekend. OK to tag along? Are you all gonna do the Eurostar? If not, im happy to bring my motor, could probably borrow a caravan as well, but that means well drive at 60 miles an hour...oh dear. Unfortunately, i dont think i`d get away with using my fuel card in France!

Does anyone know if it would be better to either sail/train from Dover-Calais (or similar), then coast road it? Not sure how good the roads are.

6hr16 from Calais, 3hr58 from Le Havre according to AA. They are normally pretty accurate. Whichever option, i would be coming down from Sheff, and could go via London, then M3 if anyone wants picking up.

Train back at 7.52 from Guingamp. Thats a bit of a wait...then again pubs are open late over there.

This rumour that they are on at 3pm had better be wrong, that's all I can say! Can anyone ITK check with Andy Rob please?

This is the line up for the friday,

I thought NO were headlining but seems "Deep Purple" are

No mention of times but if they are second to top bill then they certainly wont be on in the daytime!!

1125pm. Phew!

Shame they are supporting though, means we'll only get an hour i'd have thought :(

Sorted your train yet Don? 8.12 from Waterloo to Brest (though we only go as far as Guingamp). Same cost regardless.

I decided to take to the skies Tim!

so tempted - must...stop...reading...this...thread....

still tempted to drive if someone sorts out ferries.

Edd

Thinking about doing this with ness. Are you still doing a drive.
If so we would be up for it. What would be the itinery

Cheers

Greg

How you doin Greg? Not sure what im doing yet, but if i drive, ideally it would be from somewhere west country (Weymouth, Poole, Plymouth), over to (cant remember the name of the town - near the festival anyway)but the ferry connections are shite - the ones i looked at dont run Thursdays! Shame because an 8 hour overnight crossing would probably be a good piss up, although id be limited to just a few, obviously. The more ive looked at it, the more im tempted to do Eurostar on Friday morning from Waterloo to Paris then TGV it to Guingamp. Anyway, i`ll have another look at the boat times and let you know.

Cheers Edd

Tim, i assume the cost applies to Paris onwards only - How much is the Eurostar from London and back?

If the ferry option is used: Plymouth-Roscoff 1500 Thursday 21st Roscoff-Plymouth 0830 Saturday 23rd. Also an overnight crossing from Roscoff. About £90 each. Its probably the best route as the majority of the driving is in the UK, its only an hour to the festival from Roscoff.

That was the total cost, from Waterloo to Guingamp. IT has now gone up considerably though as there are less than 21 days before the event. Now works out at the best part of £160. Anyone fancy a drive from Calais? May work out the cheapest way if not the quickest. Early start and ferry should work out that its a long drive but would get there in time for a 10pm start or whatever!

Spotnick wrote: How long is it to go with the ferry from England to France?

I'm just curious!

Depends which port you leave from and travel to. Shortest is Dover/Calais over sea, which takes about an hour. Eurotunnel (car transporter by train) or the Eurostar rail link takes 20 minutes.

I have looked at all the routes and it dosent seem to make much difference overall. I reckon i`m gonna go with Plymouth - Roscoff as it involves the least amount of driving on the other side. In addition to what i posted about sailings, there is one back at about 2200 on the Saturday which sounds a bit better than on the boat at 0830 the morning after a gig! Gets into Plymouth early Sunday.

Well here's the road map and route from Calais to Carhaix, just short of 400 miles, and will take around 6 hours. Eurotunnel crossings with car from Folkestone won't take very long, and are cheaper than a ferry!

Couldn't miss the last European one. Just gone and booked it in a mad moment of impulsion with Alex's guidance.

Has Carhaix got a second word as part of the town name, bit hard to find maps of, seems to be a few towns of similar name??

Carhaix-Plouguer. Has to be a road trip now, flights and trains are extortionate!

I've got my Eurostar refund through (couldn't go on the 21st as originally booked), so will defo be up for a road trip if we can find a willing driver! I shall provide the beer, entertainment and petrol money!

Well, it was you who convinced me, but Alex talked me through some options. So we are doing the Exeter - Brest thing. Arriving Brest at 1545 on the Friday, what time do you arrive?? Going to hire car and pick it up at airport - and before you have any concerns about me driving on other side of road, Greg will be doing it!!

How much is the Exeter-Brest flight, and where did you book it?

oldmonkey wrote: How much is the Exeter-Brest flight, and where did you book it?

FlyBe website. Getting train down from London to Exeter, then cab 5 miles to airport.

Sorted. I'm booked on the 13.55 flight from Exeter. Was thinking about getting the 8.35 train from Paddington to Exeter, should be plenty of time, or maybe the 7.30. You can never predict rail delays though!

Spotnick wrote: Now the biggest issue is to bring the "french Order" to contact all of you... they seems to all gather in the french forum only....

I dont think there is a meeting point for the "French Order". I am not even sue there is a French Order. As for myself, I will be working on the 22nd and wont have the chance to catch up w/you guys. That's a shame cos I missed Al Jarvis and the rest of the Vikings on the Get Ready Tour in Melbourne during the Big Day Out (I didnot check the good email address, typical me ) but hopefully next year, guys.

Despite best intentions I don't think I'll be able to make this unless someone can definitely offer me a lift there and back (in exchange for my share of expenses, of course)....

Is it really only gonna be an hour set?

i'm trying to come, even if i don't like this festival.... It's not easy because my father wants to see them too, but he 's working. And i feel a little bit guilty to go there without him...i know No thanks to him...it's unfair.... i don't know what to do !

Who else is playing at this festival and are the Order near the top of the bill ???

Deep Purple are headlining, the Order are the only others I have heard of, I think!

Spotnick wrote: Well, just before New Order, you have Buesna Vista Social Club... probably the most known cuban band in the world, they even had their own movie recently.

They have been to the Montreal Jazz Festival a few times. They are very old, don't expect to see moshing and pogoing !!!

Before that, it's LCD Sound System, and before somebody I never heard of.

That is the main stage.. if you look at the others, it must be a lot of french bands, the only person I actually know is Jane Birkin (and yes, she's french), which is Serge Gainsbourg's late wife...

And Tim's right, the headliners are Deep Purple...

Er, Nic, I think you'll find that it's Serge who is 'late' rather than his missus - unless they're planning to wheel a corpse on stage (which I wouldn't put past the French to be honest...)

For those who would like to know : our french BBC, Radio France, is broadcasted the concert of New Order at les "Vieilles Charrues" on France inter… Are announced : Jeanne Cheral (french female singer), Buena Vista Social Club, and… NEW ORDER !!! I don't know if the playlist is in that order, because the site of "les vieilles charrues" is quite elusive, like the france inter one, but the transmission is from 21h to midnight (don't forget france is gtm +2 hours, or something like that, I'm not sure)… [France inter use the windows Media player, by the way] I'm gona try to make a link ( ) http://www.radiofrance.fr/chaines/france-inter01/direct/ you just have to click on "ecouter en direct" or maybe you should try http://www.radiofrance.fr/ and then go to france inter… Just in case you can't go to the festival, of course.

It's all gooped, this time zone business. Brittany is west of me, yet plus an hour in the old time zones!

Oh o.k, apparemment c'est une heure si je me fie à l'heure de ton message !!! Donc tu as sûrement raison.

Désolée, mais on a l'heure d'hiver et l'heure d'été (+1, puis +2 sur le soleil) et c'est un peu confus à force!

À vérifier tout de même !

En plus, j'espère que New Order fera vraiment partie de la retransmission : les horaires sont strictes (radio d'Etat), et ils n'hésitent pas à couper !

Hi all,

In case anyone is interested, New Order will *probably* play from 23.30 PM to 00.45 AM. Yes : 75 minutes! Not so bad. Hm.. as much as Deep Purple.

France Inter will broadcast the gig until midnight (i.e. 11PM UK time), so don't expect much from this...

This festival is really awful, crowded with more beer-fans than music-fans, but hey, it's 60 kms from here.

No, you were right in the first place it is GMT+2, but as we are now on BST which is GMT+1, the correct time is both GMT+2 and BST+1. As we now synchronise clock changes with Europe there is never a 2 hour time difference between the UK and France.

for those who wish to know more

This festival is really awful, crowded with more beer-fans than music-fans, but hey, it's 60 kms from here.

Fuck off you cock! thats what we want.

We are the vikings!

We are in a bar called le pub in carhaix!

Alcohol is ace!

French cidre yipee!

and chocolate muffins!!!!!!

Nic, you can't make sweeping generalisations about the French, they're a set of touchy buggers who'd get upset if you confuse the regions. This ignorance of this shows your claim to being French is as bad as Shugs claim of being Scottish. :D

The festival is in Normandy where Cider is v. popular as is the Calvados. Have a good 'un lads.

oh no !The biggest mistake ! (YES, I'm only jocking !) Ahem, I do believe the festival is in brittany… But they do cider as well in this area, so this is not so important, is it ? And they drink beer as well ! So you can relax ! And drink (if you don't drive, of course) !

:)

They are on the radio now and they sound very energetic. Very good. Regret, Krafty, Transmission and on the moment Atmosphere.

... Waiting for the sirens´ call on the moment.

Am I alone here?

WFTSC sounding very good indeed ! Manic here listening at home with a beer !

... True Faith now

Hallo Manic, this is Amsterdam. Nice, I am not alone. Where is Spotnick? He has to record this!

BLT

Goede avond runwild

He said something about bad people.

Maybe Temptation because of the sentence `people in this world we have no place to go´?

ps rutter sucks dogs cocks!!!!!!!!!!

If someone recorded the audio from this festival, can you PLEASE drop me a line??? I missed it all ! I've got LOADS to trade with. Cheers.

Got my Civic ticket, it's gonna be ace

Thought I had the pic of Gary gazing lovingly at Bernard, Alex ;)

But got to thank Alex for VIP entry and press area gatecrashing.

First watched Bernard and Phil doing live TV interview, then all band doing press conference. We seemed to get away with acting as press, the band knew who we were obviously, but looked to us to laugh when their humour went outside English understanding. As they were leaving Hooky gave me a kiss as usual! before being whisked away then we shook hands with Bernard and I collared him for photos (enjoyed putting my arm around his waist ), we all pestered him for EGG which obviously paid off!

Got great pics of me and Gary with Bernard and Greg and Don with him. Also got large number of the band from press conference; but alas none of gig, bouncers went mad if they saw a camera pop up in crowd.

Gig was excellent - a near perfect performance, good to end the summer with, and EGG and the Vikings mention was the icing on the cake :D

I'm assuming this is an in-joke referring to the oh-yes-it-is-oh-no-it-isn't Wolves warm-up that never quite happened. But if people do know something I don't please spill the beans. Gutted I never went to France....

Nope, i believe he is taking the piss.

See Dr. I can say something useful :D

Not many've been there... only one report by now...

Actually i did see Happy Mondays at Wolves Civic hall October 92.What a mess they were.Twas the end as we knew it.

And i also ended up there New Years Eve... ermmm.. the other year.Dancing off me face to Pounding by Doves is all i recall

Guys, Looks like Les Vieilles Charrues was a great gig! I am desperatly looking for an audio record of it. Can someone help??? Thanks.

It sounds rather good. Full write-up on an excellent weekend (best gig I have seen them do since 1986) tomorrow when I get the chance.

As the pics show, they were on speaking and giggling terms on that night. Maybe it is just for show for the press!

glad to see you made it then !

A few pics taken on my phone from the wkd.

The french webcast missed off crystal

Ha - look at Bernard's little face through the caravan window.

Tim looks like he is drinking his own urine out of a jug

What webcast?!?!

got a link??????

Well there is some debate as to if anyone actually saw him fill up the jug from the cider bottle

Well I couldn't be bothered drinking out of the 2 litre cider bottle, so I figured the measuring jug would not only be a useful sized container, it would also allow me to moderate what I drank and not get totally bevvied, unlike some

It also had all the triv answers written on the side ;)

Just out of interest how much did the whole trip cost any of you?.From England.Travel ,accomm (if any) ,ticket, beer, food.Total.

Who are the non online Vikings in the pictures? - and how many 'ardcore dont feel the need to be webbed up (and better off they are)?

Flights were probably dearest I've had to fork out so far this summer cos destination was fairly remote. Flew out of Southampton cos Gary and Gordie are Pompey lads and were flying out of there, then hiring a car. Me and the Mrs trained down with Don, from London. Train worked out around 50 notes, flights there and back (we flew to Rennes, back from Brest) were maybe 120-140, not sure, which, like I said, is the most I've paid for flights anywhere this summer. Rented a Gites for a week (although we were only there 4 days, but you had to take a week's booking) for 750 notes (between 11 of us). Motor cost best part of 300 notes, between 5 of us, and then the concert tickets were a paltry 28 euros or something, but we didn't use them in the end cos ATR got 13 of us guest-listed. Gites was so remote we didn't even go out two nights so just holed up and guzzled lots of Kronenbourg! It was nigh on 2hrs walk to get into Carhaix, with nothing in between!

...the rest of us - Greg & Ness, JG, Tim, and myself went via Exeter to Brest, train back and forth to London, but the numbers came out about the same - I only stayed one night though, so the others got more for their Euros!

In any case, wouldn't have missed it...

don't get the chance to post that often - browse quite regularly though - I'm at the back between JG and Al here

Think everyone who was over has posted at some time, bar Gordie and perhaps Wayne (although I know he's a member here). The likes of pompeyorder, Big Clive and Greg Gould don't post an awful lot though.

And of course Jo doesn't post at all, but keep working on her, Greg got there in the end ;)

Nice shirt Tim

Not so sure about the drink though - doesnt look like cider to me

Didn't taste like it either!

As many others french fans i was at that Gig. I did a very long trip by car , from East southern France to the rainy Bretagne. I was very excited to see NO once again . The last time i saw them was , three years before, in the Paris Zenith. I've exchanged a few posts with Al Jarvis, on WIM forums, cos i didn't even know NOOL ...Or i'd better say that i found WIM more cosier 4 me, so i didn't try to visit another NO Web site. As usual; as i did in 1989 for the first time, i choose a place on the first row and i was almost in front of Hooky. I did some pixs that i posted on Wim with a long review. ThIs NO set was very cool. I've been very pleased to hear EGG live, under a pouring rain. At the end of the set i felt very happy an d sais to my wife that they were no longer the "shy" introspective guys i used to listen to with JD and early NO material. This is my opinion today. NO are pleasants and friendly, nice human beings. Not rock stars. This is still one of the reasons that make me one of their oldest fans...

I hope you weren't that little shite that looked like Brian Harvey who kept trying to elbow me out of the way.....if you were, sorry for the smack in the face, but you deserved it!
