Fête des rois à Dark Horse
Anthea and Seamus, crowned queen and king at the Cercle Français de Belfast's annual fête des rois.
The evening, which had attracted a full house was animated very professionally by Vanessa Franchetti and her accomplished team of dancers and musicians.
Her team also provided the home-baked galettes shared among participants and helped down with either a glass of wine or cider.
The event included dance demonstrations including an impromptu Can Can from the recently crowned Anthea and Seamus. Here is a short video of a set piece performed by four dancers. The video was taken by Michael and gives some of the atmosphere of the evening.
Thanks Michael, and everyone else who came along.

La Fête des Rois et Bal
Musette
While this event is free to members we do ask
for a small contribution of £5 from non-members. In order to help us judge numbers could you
perhaps email to me the total number you expect in your party?
Les Mis
On 11th January the film of the
musical ‘Les Misérables’ will open in a cinema near you. Okay, it’s not a patch
on Hugo’s masterpiece nevertheless it does capture much of the spirit of his
novel. The French connection is truly
there as the music is by Claude-Michel
Schönberg and the original French lyrics were written by Alain
Boublil.
