The Mabuses + Rachel Unthank @ Maroquinerie Paris Nov 16th 2008

First band to go on in an empty Maroquinerie ( 50 people ) is Rachel Unthank , 4 beautiful English girls ( a gorgeous blonde on piano , 2 lovely sisters on vocals and dance and a fatal brunette on accordion and violin ) in their twenties . They're playing traditionnal english folk songs.
Nice to hear completely different music once in a while.
Lead singer Rachel has a crystal clear voice. Very nice.
Robert Wyatt loves them , they've played one of his song .

When The Mabuses started the show more people had arrived ( around 100 ) , they've played to a devoted audience their Pop-rock-psyche .
Nice set too.
