Tim O'Connor (IE/GB/FR)

Tim is an Irishman living locally in Aix-les-Bains who played the festival in 2009. He was due to play last year, but for a last minute change, so we have brought him back this year. He is a veritable 21st century troubadour and prolific singer-songwriter, travelling between France, the UK and Ireland and crossing cultures to play his music that switches effortlessly between folk, Irish, blues and rock. Always interesting; always tasteful, he plays in many guises. At La Roche, make sure to catch him with his trio on the lunchtime stage.
