Seán Báite Vive la French (74* d) RE: Vive la French 05 Mar 08


Recognised you no problems, Monique - are you in or around Toulouse ? For geography, I'm in Agen - where a guy at the market made me ask for saucisse d'Agen once instead of saucisse de Toulouse - they're just a little bit 'chauvin' sometimes...
Love the Polnareff one - especially as he was taking in a lot of English influences at that time. My kids heard it on the TV the other day and went - 'what the hell is that ?' - more generation gap trouble coming up :-<
Gnu and Katlaughing, if it's stuff from that lovely place across the Ocean from Ireland you're after here's a couple more :

Richard Desjardins - great voice/great writer/great song - sorry the vid and the sentiment is a bit anti-American :
Richard Desjardins - Les Yankees

Some kind soul has put up a whole TV concert of the great Felix Leclerc :
Felix Leclerc - Whole Concert

A nice a capella delivery by Acadian singer, Pierre Robichaud, outlining the perks of working as a gardener in a convent :
Pierre Robichaud - Le jardinier du couvent

The same fella with one that's a bit commercial and reggae-ised - but the landscape's lovely (looks a lot like the west of Ireland/Scotland - apart from when they've blued up the sky with Photoshop :->)
Pierre Robichaud - Aux iles de la Madeleine

Enjoy - and ain't the internet great ? The BBC is grand enough - but stuff in French only comes along sporadically - with the web, we're pure spoilt...
