Martha High @ Jamel Comedy club Paris Oct 3rd 2008

Martha High & the Shaolin Temple Defenders live @ "Jamel Comedy club".

The STD without Martha + Setlist

Private event for the first show of her French October tour . This is a late show as the band went on stage at 11:30 pm .
When i get into this trendy club I just couldn't fuckin' believe my eyes , the place is so small , there's a stage in the back and a small room with tables and chairs , it's simple nice and cosy .
Couldn't believe that i missed the Stevie Wonder aftershow party here, yes mates he played here in front of a hundred people , felt like i wanted to hung myself as we knew about it and didn't go thinking he would never played . AAAAaaaggghhhh !!!

Anyway The Shaolin Temple Defenders started to do a few numbers before Martha High joined them . Nice start with " Think" .
I've seen Martha a few times and it 's allways very good , she's got the voice and the attitude.
Remember folks, she played with Mr james Brown for many years and later with Maceo Parker.
Well , you know what more can i say ? When it's good , it's good.
So don't miss her on her tour :

She was on stage for only an hour with one song as an encore but hey ! that was a free gig and it ended at 1 am , perfect for me as i needed a bit of sleep as i' waking up tomorrow morning very early for the Fashion Week .

It's always a pleasure to attend CHANEL Fashion show @ Le Grand Palais in Paris, the place is huge , the setting is fantastic for each collection, lots of beautiful girls too ...

Paul McCartney @ Stella McCartney Fashion Week Spring/ Summer 2009 Paris Carreau du Temple Oct 2nd 2008

Before show with Ludivine (left ) and Sharleen
+ Peter Blake ( far right with the glasses)

Hi There

Just back from Stella McCartney 's Spring/Summer collection .
A couple of celebrities including french actresses Zoé felix , a heavily pregnant Ludivine Sagnier ( more beautiful than ever ) , 60's supermodel Twiggy , Meg Matthews (former wife of a Gallagher Bros from Oasis ),Zoé Kravitz ( daughter of Lenny and Lisa Bonet ) L'wren Scott ( Mick Jagger ' s girlfriend ) Sharleen Spiteri from Texas , former top model Stéphanie Seymour ,Sir Peter Blake ( he designed the cover of The Beatles' Sgt Pepper ) and of course .... Sir Paul McCartney with his son James
+ Paul girlfriend's Nancy Shevell who's keeping a low profile, funny she's not on the guestlist and not on the seating plan , so she probably watch the show from backstage.
We get there around 9:30 had a nice breakfast ( it's early in the morning ) with guests including Zoé and Ludivine . Then the show started , late as usual . Paul arrived with his two bodyguards ( plus french security ) just before the lights went out .
Fashion show was good , then we went backstage for a cup of champagne and canapés .
We met Sharleen ( as cool as usual and sexy ... ) , sir Peter Blake and Paul who stayed for more than an hour , he was nice to everyone and very chatty , playing with stella's kids ( he played a bit of harmonica for them )and so on ...
Patrice took a few pictures here they are :

After show : Paul with Stella and Peter Blake

James Blunt Paris Bercy Oct 1st 2008

BREAKINGS NEWS : DIRTY PRETTY THINGS are no more , they have split up , the English tour will go ahead in October , nothing has been said about other shows in Europe including their concert in Paris in november @the Bataclan.

Ahhh !!! James Blunt, " Le bourreau des coeurs " for all the ladies ...

That's true : lots of girls in the audience tonight ( 70 % ) most of 'em in their twenties .
Quite surprising too , Bercy is full ( but not Sold-out ) for this all seated concert .

Teddy Thompson opened the show with a mixture of slow blues pop songs he has a good voice but it's a bit too slow for me .

James Blunt , the girls love him dearly , so many songs talking about love , well in fact all the songs are talking about love, and when you're singing about love you're not playing Heavy Metal.

So guest what ? a few mid- tempo songs ( at the beginning ) and then lots of slow songs ... way tooooooo slooowww for me . He's playing acoustic guitar, even tough it's hard to hear what he'splaying ( is it plugged ? ) and he's also on the piano .
Every time he's going to one side or another girls are going crazy but not too much, they know how to behave , this is not Tokyo Hotel ...

The high point of the show is when he's leaving the main stage and jumped into the pit to run throught the screaming girls to a second stage at the back of the venue to play a couple of songs on the piano and then run back to the main stage on his own and without security .
Good show but faster songs wouldn't do any harm ...

Here's a video , James playing piano on the small center stage :
