Raphaël & Bernard DUFRESNE
MEMORIAL CELEBRATION 2026
The PLOUGH’s IMMIGRANT JAMMS
16th April, 9.00pm
Easton, Bristol
Dearest friends,
Today is Easter, the ninth Easter without Raphaël.
Since 2018, Bernard and I have organized a concert in his memory every year.
Now, with Bernard's unexpected passing last July, it's my turn to continue this tradition, in memory of both of them.
