Fete De La Musique 2012

It is summer and with summer comes the 1001 concerts and parties that we, as the people of the party nation, need to attend. One that I always look forward to is the Fete De La Musique. My reasons are really simple – it is free, it is outdoors, and you get to see the local talent that you would otherwise would be hard-pressed to see, especially if you are a student without a proper income other than your parents.
