Ooh la la

[Viv Savage]

Actually, one of these dates is wrong (24th April). We would advise everyone to wait for confirmation on our website before buying the tickets. We'll post up the dates as soon as we have 100 percent confirmation

Savigny Le Temple, in Paris suburb...NMA played once there, in 2000, for the release of 'Eight"...15 years ago, wow!!
I hope more french gigs in 2015, please ...and why not in Normandie (Evreux? Caen?)
Le Trabendo in Paris is also a nice venue for a NMA gig.

yep, Caen will be announced soon also for march, you'll be happy Guillaume 
but it's not very easy to come to Caen from south of France

Really?
I guess it is the Big Band Café at Hérouville Saint Clair (Caen suburb), a small, cool venue where i've seen NMA twice, in February 2006 and October 2007...there was really a nice atmosphere in this venue, good memories of gigs!!
I would like to see NMA again in my hometown Evreux too (it's in Normandie too, one hour from Paris by train, if you take the train à la Gare Saint Lazare)...NMA played there once in 1995, at Le Rock dans tous ses états Festival.
Normandie rocks!

but it's not very easy to come to Caen from south of France 

I am sorry for you Patrice
But i guess Paris and the North of France are closer to NMA's hometown, they just have to cross the sea to see us and they are almost in Normandy!

Hmmm... never seen NMA outside of the UK, something I always meant to do...

hummm, I'm not sure these gigs in north of France would be as memorable as a gig in London or Nottingham. Don't expect big venues with a lot of people...

France is a country that i have always been very interested in visiting. I have only been there for less than 24 hours for the Paris xmas gig in 2012. It was my very first gig and enjoyed my brief encounter with the people of Paris. They seemed very nice and helpful. I am very tempted but not sure if it will work. I am in the process of career changes and perhaps that will work in between.

I wish they could announce dates soon as plane tickets are cheap when buying in advanced.

I never saw NMA inside the UK

Indeed but i like the fact that NMA is playing in small/average venues (300 up to 700 people) here, it's more intimate..

NMA gigs in UK are very lively, with passion and big enthusiasm !
In France, people are more static... too bad ! Lucky that english followers are coming !

We'll be happy to come back and do that - me and jsyirish did manage to assist with some sort of pit at Herouville in whenever it was we were there last!!

Lovely trip, stayed in Bayeux nearby and made a very chilled weekend of it

It sounds like a calmer gig with a calm pit or none at all. That sounds like an ideal gig for me or people who don't get the appeal of moshpits. It doesn't mean they are not into the music, just that they experience it differently.

Very true...i've never been to a NMA gig in the UK or in Germany, but there was a nice, enjoyable mood in the french gigs i've attended (Paris le Trabendo, la Locomotive, Big Band Café in Hérouville...)

So the Big Band Café 2015 gig is confirmed on their site, the 12th of March;

And the same month in this venue there is a Dr Feelgood show, wow!
