Carmen Maria Vega + Liz Green + Liza Manili @ Hotel de Ville for Paris Plage, July 22 2012

Last day for this free festival in front of the Hotel de Ville in Paris, once again it's sunny & warm with the sun shining like never before for July 2012.

First is Liza Manili, nice pop-rock set à la Blondie
Folk artist Liz Green with little folk songs, not the best for an outdoor festival in daylight, a bit boring

Carmen Maria Vega, she's now playing some rock tunes singing in french with some funny & sarcastic lyrics, she's acting on stage like the typical "Parisian lad"
Cool set.

+ Rover & Dominic A rehearsals

Rover & Dominic A

"Marathon Photo Fnac 2012" in Paris, They give you 1 subject every two hours and you have, with your team mate, to take two pictures for each subject.
Nice way to get busy on a saturday sunny afternoon in July

"La nature dans la ville"

"L'envers du décors"
"La Parisienne"

We did it last year and were very conceptual but the jury chose "postal cards" so we tried to get "down to earth" for this one.
As we were from time to time at the Hotel de Ville during the afternoon , we saw some of the rehearsals (Rover & Dominic A") for the night show. Too tired to go after walking the streets of Paris for a few hours.

Mina Tindle + La Grand Sophie @ Hotel de Ville for Paris Plage, Paris july 20 2012 6:30pm
Short set (25 min) by Mina Tindle & friends
Indie Pop tunes with a bit of electronica, nice even though there's no real hit single , it's more "ambiant".
La Grande Sophie

We only stayed for the first 3 songs, nice pop-rock but nothing special

Charlie Winston @ Hotel de Ville for Paris Plage, July 19 2012 9:30pm

Free gig at the Hotel de Ville for the Paris Plage festivities, it's packed with a few thousands people, lots of late teenage girls, most of them smoking & drinking alcool in a friendly atmosphere.
There were a few artist before, we only came came for Charlie Winston.
He's playing acoustic & electric guitar, a couple of songs on piano and one on bass.
He gave out a few of his (trademark) hats to the audience and had them clapping and singing to his hits.
The music he's playing is not Top but hes' a good showman and the show was enjoyable.
