Why are we doing this again?

I have a feeling one of the highlights of this job will be getting the heads up on all the latest parties, events and gigs. Currently, unless you are a fluent French speaker and can find the listings in Nice-Matin, or happen to pop into FNAC once a week, you have no way of knowing what is going on down here.
I can think of many events in the last six months – the International DJ festival, featuring Roger Sanchez, the great Stephane Pompougnac of Hotel Costes fame and the sublime David Moralis, the World Music Awards, Jamie Cullum playing to a half capacity audience at Mipcom, Oasis playing in Marseille – where most people have only known what’s going on after it’s happened. A bit pointless really and one of the reasons our What’s On guide will change things forever on the Cote d’Azur.
