On Saturday, it was time to hit up the Paris music scene again, and this time things got slightly cooler than the (highly enjoyable) pop parade delivered by Mr. Olly Murs. Julien Dore was playing a free concert at a Fnac store, and although I might not have been a big fan at the beginning of the concert, by the end I certainly was. Truth be told, I'd heard one song of his - a cover, and I was listening to it because it featured Coeur de Pirate, whose music I was actually after. So think of him as an undiscovered treasure - one I found yesterday and am now sharing with you!
Waiting in line!
The long queues were worth the wait, we were right near the front, which lead to us being spotted by a presenter that my friend knew from the "Non Stop People" channel. I blurted out that my French was a bit rubbish, so the cameras were turned on my French speaking friend whilst I smiled uncertainly into the camera. We were both very excited to make our French t.v. debut - but I haven't managed to track us down online yet so who knows if we'll get our 5 minutes of fame!
The concert consisted of Julien Dore and some of his friends who had collaborated on his new album LØVE playing some songs, a cover and then an acoustic number on a ukelele in the middle of the floor. Afterwards, he hurried through some autographs and we managed to get a quick photo.
Check him out on Youtube - and I'm told his new album has been even more popular than his old stuff. I certainly loved it & managed to tell him so! I can't help but laugh that my autograph was made out to 'Anna'. Think I'm just gonna have to embrace it...
À Bientôt !
