BB Brunes + Hugh Coltman @ Bellevilloise for Le Ring, Paris Dec 18 2012

BB Brunes + Hugh Coltman @ Bellevilloise for Le Ring tv show on France Ô , Paris Dec 18 2012

First time we're attending Le Ring TV recording for France Ô, in fact we've never heard of it before, this TV program already had Michael Kinawuka, Charlie Winston, Selah Sue and a few others.

Each time two artists are playing 5-6 songs each on a Box Ring, tonight we have English musician Hugh Coltman an french Rock band BB Brunes.

Early start as we're making our way into the Bellevilloise club around 7:30 pm and leaving the premises at 9:00pm.

Nice setting with a small white stage.

First is Hugh Coltman with his drummer and keyboard player for a cool short set of folk-rock.
Then we have the BB Brunes, lots of teenage girls in the audience who came specially for them but no screaming, everyone is very relaxed and enjoying the music.
It's less rock and more "dance" but enjoyable.

Eric Truffaz @ Studio SFR, Paris Dec 13 2012 8:30pm

 A little bit of Jazz music can't do us any harm after all the Rock'n Roll we've been listening to all these years. We're great fans of Freddie Hubbard over here @ Rockerparis so Eric Truffaz is allright for us.
We've missed the first song as we were @ Ballades Sonores for Marie-Flore 's acoustic set.
It's an all seated event (a first) at Studio SFR for us full of people in their 50's, I guess Jazz music is only for boring old fart.
Youngsters are really missing something, another great performance mainly instrumental with a couple of songs with a girl on vocals. Perfect music to chill out and relax after a hard work day.
Don't be afraid by the word "Jazz" this is not the boring side of jazz but the best one.
One hour set that should be broadcated on the SFR website.

 Small gathering of fans, even though the store is packed (it's very small)

for a short electro-acoustic set (around 7-8 songs), we had to leave the premises after just 3 songs as it started late and we had to go to the Studio SFR to see Eric Truffaz, too bad for us; she has a soft voice and her songs are really nice.
