Pete Doherty won't play @ Chateau de Vincennes for the Fete de la Musique

PARIS (AFP) — Le chanteur anglais Peter Doherty a annulé le concert qu'il devait donner le 21 juin au château de Vincennes dans le cadre d'un plateau d'artistes à l'occasion de la 28e Fête de la musique, ont annoncé mardi les organisateurs.

Peter Doherty sera remplacé par l'Ecossais Paolo Nutini, qui se produira aussi le lendemain à guichets fermés au Bataclan.

Arrêté après un concert à Gloucester (sud-ouest de l'Angleterre), Peter Doherty, 30 ans, a été inculpé la semaine dernière pour plusieurs infractions dont conduite en état d'ivresse et possession de drogue dure.

Soap & Skin @ Black Session # 301 France Inter Paris June 15th 2009

Anja Plaschg aka Soap & Skin @ C'est Lenoir Black Session # 301
Paris France Inter June 15th 2009

Young Austrian Singer is playing the last Black Session before the summer holidays, I 've never heard anything of her before so it' a complete discovery.
She's playing the piano and is playing backing tapes on her mac.
Some people might say ( including me ) that she's playing a similar music ( and and has the same voice ) as the early Cat Power but more electronic.
The girl is acting funny sometimes.
Cool 45 min + set
The video below is not really representative of what she's playing as it was the only song she's not on the piano and the music is closer to Bjork

Thos Henley @ Oliver Peel Session # 7 Paris June 14th 2009

Thos Henley @ Oliver Peel session # 7
Paris June 14th 2009

Young English folk singer from Winchester Thos Henley came, on this hot sunday afternoon, with his all female Swedish fan club.
Now we know how to get more girls in the audience for the private Oliver Peel session , Oliver has to invite a young male singer instead of all the female folk singers we had before.
With this Swedish contingent , this Oliver Peel session # 7 is the most popular he ever had , the place is packed and it's hot & sweaty.
Thankfully, our host , Cécile is providing Rosé to cool us down.
Strange to attend such an intimate gig , just two days after seeing the biggest rock'n roll band on earth ( AC/DC ) in front of 76 000 people at the Stade de France.

What's your name babe ?

Usually Thos is also playing the ukulele , not this afternoon , we had a 40 min+ set on acoustic guitar. This young fellow is charming with his angelic voice and his compositions are quite mature for his young age.
Listen to his myspace page to hear what he's capable of and watch our video below.

Not everybody could fit in

The beautiful people & Stéphane ready to cut the cake

The man with the red t-sirt

As I was walking on the Champs Elysées I spotted Phil and his girlfriend so we asked him for a picture.
And a little later on Cliff who signed a few cds for fans in front of the hotel.
