15th December 2013 - Paris Moon at Cafe Rouge

We were transported last night to mid 20^th Century Paris with the musical stylings of Paris Moon.

Café Rouge was the perfect venue for this evening of French chanson, including Padam Padam, Vie en Rose and Plaisir d’Amour. The venue was packed with people, both those there to enjoy a meal and those who came for the music, and many who stayed for both.

Paris Moon comprises Jackie Doe (accordion) and  Keith Allen (guitar) play their own interpretation of Musette (French Cafe Music), with Gillie Tunley on vocals.  Their repertoire of waltzes, tangos, polkas and paso-dobles along with popular songs of stars such as Edith Piaf is evocative of a by-gone era yet captures the timeless charm and romance of Paris.

Please enjoy the below video and watch out for the Café Rouge staff singing along.

Tonight there has been a venue change due to the forecast very heavy rain.

Many thanks to Clifton Ingram for agreeing to host us however tonight we will be in the Bradbury Centre. So if you were thinking twice due to the rain, don’t worry we are inside tonight.

December 15th 2012 - Paris Moon at Cafe Rouge

Paris Moon have performed together, in various guises, for many years. The most curious booking undertaken by Gill, Jackie & Keith was 3/4 hr in Beirut for Valentine's Day! Most events are slightly more local and Paris Moon aims to take you back to your favourite memories and delights of a holiday in France.

What more suited to a french resturant than traditional french cafe music?

Paris Moon did an excellent job last night in reproducing the atmosphere of a Paris street cafe, I have to say I've never been to France but it certainly echoed the way I thought it would feel like. 

An audience of around 50 were happily ensconced in the warm venue, listening to songs including “Non, je ne regrette rien” and “Milord”, both made famous by Edith Piaf.

Cafe Rouge is a group of French restaurants, with outlets all around the country.

Tonight you will find us only across the Market Place outside The Roebuck. Hope you've not got too fond of these single performers and small groups over recent days....

14th Decmeber 2012 - Louise Herrington at Waitrose

Last night it was the first of three performances at Waitrose.

We were entertained by the operatic stylings of Louise Herrington in A Musical Interlude.

Louise Herrington is a professional opera singer based in Bracknell, performing a few theatre classics with maybe the odd Christmas song or two. Don't worry, no Wagner tonight! Louise is available for all sorts of singing work, and runs her own accounting practice.

She certainly is multi-talented and must have no trouble with her end of year Tax returns!

We hope to see you tonight at Cafe Rouge for our 15^th performance.

Here's a hint: One of the instruments to be used tonight is also known as a squeezebox.
