"Benoit Kilian, plays the drums from a concert in the west of La Grosne, with the late Jacky Barbier.... who did not want his shit (set of percussion biggest rotten case of the time) on his small scene !! Thanks Jacky!

It finds itself fully in the creation and the life of the collective GEX, it is good for the new experiences!
