Hi Karel,

We are reluctantly on our way home, and are in Singapore tonight (which seems kinda dull after the wild Rochefort bunch)...it was fantastic to end our 3 months on such a high with meeting everyone at Rocheford...we have said several times to each other over the past few days how we can't believe how many gorgeous people we met...everyone was just so warm and accomodating (not an ego in sight)...we had loads of fun! I really appreciate the chance you gave me to be a part of it all. 
It sounds like you are still partying on, which is great.. We will be sure to keep in touch when we get home and will be sure to keep you updated on our plans for return..
We would love to see any video or pics that anyone gets together as we only managed a few pics and one or two video clips (especially Friday on the mainstage as we have nothing from that)? I will try to put what I have on a Cd when I get home if you would like...I think I have some video of Saturday night's afterparty also...
Thanks again for absolutely everything....We'll be in touch really soon...XX You truly Rock!!!
Cheers
Marisa and Tim

Thanks Karel. It was great fun with great music & lovely people & good food & wine. What could be better?
I liked the news clip on the podcast & what I could understand of the Le Monde review seemed good too. Excellent.
Thanks a lot for including me in the line up for the festival.
all the best,
Roger Beaujolais

Dear Karel,
thank you so much for inviting us to take part in the festival. We really loved it all. I was trying to think of my favourite bits but it was all so great that I found myself thinking of everything, right down to the citron presse I had in the Place Colbert on my own in the Saturday early evening sunshine.
All the people were so great, the musicians and the volunteers. It was hard to say goodbye.
I hope you organise another festival somewhere else and that we can be part of it, and I hope Rochefort carries on in a good way whatever.
Many thanks again for all your help and a really great time.
Love Rebecca and Andy x

merci encore de l'accueil  que vous nous avez réservé

Merci à toi Karel, d'avoir été le ciment entre nous, le rire, la blague, le sérieux.
J'ai trouvé tout ça excellent !
J'ai rencontré des gens merveilleux.
J'ai énormément bu et bouffé.
Merci !

Thanks to you and Philippe, to everyone,
Magics moments for us 4..
Hope to be with all of you again

Bonjour Karel,
Et merci de ce lien que je regarderai chez moi en rentrant d' oleron. Merci encore mille fois de m'avoir permis de jouer a Rochefort cette année, et j'espère avoir pu y apporter quelque chose. De mon cote, j'ai adore cette expérience humaine, ces rencontres superbes comme ses rencontres rates, mille merci pour tout. Et bonne route pour la suite, car il m'a semblé entendre que tu arrêtais l'année prochaine ? On se verra sur Paris bientôt, ok ? En tout cas merci et bravo pour tout !
Bise
Sebastien Llado
