ON a list of things to do before you die raving in a blizzard should feature
highly.
That's exactly what punters were able to experience at the excellent first
year of new festival TignesFest.
Set at venues around the cracking French resort of Tignes over a weekend last
month some of the freshest talent throughout Europe was on show.
Among the highlights were THE SHOES who carried off nicely a rock
performance interspersed with rap.
That's about when the snow started pelting down forcing organisers to cancel
the last few bands but not before PRIMARY 1 cracked open a set
fuelled with electro delights.

As the aftershow moved to The Melting Pot the legendary EDDY TEMPLE-MORRIS
got the crowd warmed up playing a storming set of his signature mash-up
remixes.
BBC Radio 1 darling KISSY SELL OUT then tore the place apart proving
why he is hot property and one to see at this summer's festivals.
The next day Scottish born NAOMI ROPER stole the show with her
indie-folk acoustic set.
Battling to sing due to her vocal chords having taken a beating the night
before she left the crowd begging for more.
TignesFest was a brilliant concept pulled off to perfection.
Bringing together fresh musical talent with the backdrop of the snow-covered
resort of Tignes this was a festival that it felt special to be apart of
from the start.
This event is one to watch and can only go from strength to strength in coming
years.
