The Main Square Festival- Arras-Pas de Calais-France- 4th July 2010. The festival is no longer held in the Main Square in Arras but at la Citadelle a former star shaped military fortress constructed between 1668 and 1672. Now used for more peaceful purposes la Citadelle has been reclaimed for the people and culture, a move in the right direction I think. According to her Wikipedia entry Florence and the Machine (sometimes stylised as Florence + the Machine) is the recording name of indie rock English artist Florence Welch and a collaboration of other artists who provide backing music for her voice. Florence and the Machine's sound has been described as a combination of various genres, including rock and soul. The band's music has received praise across the music media before they gained mainstream success, especially from the BBC who played a large part in Florence and the Machine's rise to prominence by promoting her as part of "BBC Introducing" music programme. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_and_the_Machine
