Jeff Beck et Johnny Depp a Marciac en 2022
Jeff Beck and Johnny Depp had found each other.
He is a guitarist who has made his mark on contemporary music history. The public's memories of the Jazz in Marciac festival are filled with beautiful memories of his disappearance. Jeff Beck and Johnny Depp performed in Marciac in July 2022.
The look of two old brats, the accomplice eye, Jeff Beck and Johnny Depp had found each other. And it made for some damn good music.
An album titled 18, like the age that these two had the impression of having when they met, was born from their meeting. This was be the guitarist's last opus, in July 2022. The two friends were reunited on a tour in France, including one in Marciac, as part of the process.
Under the big top, Jeff Beck, a rock legend, and Johnny Depp, a phenomenal actor who was not at his first attempt as a rock singer, entertained the crowd for the first time last summer at Marciac.
Flurry of praise
"Legend," "sacred monster," "one of the best guitarists of all time" - when we talk about someone like that, it's usually because they're dead. Jeff Beck, a guitar legend, died on January 10 at the age of 78 from meningitis.
Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton's successor in the psychedelic Yardbirds of the 1960s, has shared his talent with other big names on the international rock scene throughout his career, including Jimmy Page, Brian Wilson, Rod Stewart, Mick Jagger, Roger Waters, Cyndy Lauper, ZZ Top, and even Tina Turner.
I'm not the kind of artist who paints the same still life every day. Jeff Beck
" A sublime touch, a solar phrasing, a game that touches the skies," Jeff Beck's fans and press tributes are up to the guitar's lyrical flights. A musician who has not restricted himself to "painting the same still life every day" throughout his 60-year career. He'll have explored the whole musical spectrum, from hard-rock to jazz, blues to electro.

Santiago de Compostela
When the feast of Saint Jacques (July 25) falls on a Sunday, we speak of the year of jacquaire, the holy year of Compostela or the jubilee. The event only recurs up to 15 times per century. It was not until the end of the Middle Ages, in 1428, that we find traces of the historically attested first Holy Year of Compostela.
The very old tradition of this festival was relaunched in 1965. On this occasion, hundreds of thousands of pilgrims from all over the world set out on the paths, some with the goal of arriving in Santiago on July 25.
Many activities will be scheduled on the way to St Jacques.
In Maubourguet:
11 a.m .: Mass animated by young ACE and catechism children
12:30 p.m .: aperitif concert offered by Catholic relief
Followed by a shared meal in the gardens of the presbytery, the pilgrims are graciously invited.
4:00 p.m .:Concert of songs of Saint Jacques at the church with the participation of Lucie Tenet, song and Mathilde Herbaut, song and saxorne, former students of the Maitrise de Radio France
6:00 p.m .: Concert in the garden + aperitif dinner at La Villa Imaginaire (Pilgrim accommodation)
In Marciac:
Exhibition of paintings from churches on the road to Arles and paintings of the Stations of the Cross by Pablo Lameyre at the Chapel of Our Lady of the Cross all day.
8.45am: Saint-Jacques hike, 8 km, organized by the Clap. Free coffee, departure and registration at the Marciac Tourist Office (€ 1).
