Very important point : this interview took place on my balcony.

THE Piano...

RECENTLY BOUGHT

Viscount Intercontinental Piano 7 

(40 kg - beautiful and healthy baby isn't it ?)

JB, Foster and the piano. JB said "Cool, i'm gonna play some electro music". But he also thinks the piano is much too big to stay in our flat. And he's not completely wrong. 

This is it...

SWANN on JUKEBO.fr

One month ago, a guy from JukeBo.fr sent me an email saying that he would like to ask me some questions and me to play for an acoustic session. We were supposed to do it late april, but i was terribly ill (and it seemed like a lifetime). I mean, I couldn't speak anymore, and I was unable to do anything but sleep.
So ... last Sunday, Stephen came at home with the Jukebo team, and we played Loneliness. You can also read the interview (in French) on Jukebo.fr.

Interview for La Mairie de Paris

In February I was interviewed by La Mairie de Paris.

The interview was based on a very simple idea : "I remember...", so we talked about my childhood... in French of course !

Loneliness

This videoclip was made by my friend Victor Picon who stayed at home for a weekend in February. He shot this video during the soundchecks at La Loge. The song that is played is called "Loneliness".

I spent three days in Switzerland one week ago. It was really good to go there again. I played The Rocking Chair (Vevey) on Friday night with Mocke and Stephen, as the opening act for An Pierlé ; and the following day I played in a small and cosy bar in Geneva called La Galerie, on my own. It felt weird to play alone, just like I used to do when I started playing live when I was 17. But it was nice to see that people were listening silently and respectfully to all my songs.





And last Tuesday, I played in Rennes, at L’Etage. I was supporting this mythic and legendary Woodstock band, Ten Years After. It was a great honour to play before them, on the same stage, in front of a 800-people audience. I’ve never been that nervous before a gig, believe me... Stephen was so nervous too... And JB, my boyfriend, was terribly anxious when he first saw the crowd in the room, ten minutes before i started playing. The first song i played was “Will I See You Again”, on my own – Stephen wasn’t playing. It was actually very frightening, but I was so nervous that i had the feeling to be playing it for the first time ever. We played 7 songs, the show lasted 25 mn. I was very surprised that people were silent – they really seemed to like the songs and the atmosphere that was created.

I will post a video very soon.

Last night i dreamt that my hair were so long that I could feel them on my hips. It was a strange feeling. Unfortunately i must admit that my hair are not that long, though i wish they were.
