Should anyone be interested in seeing Jarv's Gallic hero (and fashion inspiration) Michel Polnareff, he is still going at 80y.o. and he has a show in Hammersmith on 3rd April. There are worse things you could do on a Thursday night. __________________

Ooh, nice one, I never would have clocked that. Can't believe he's still going and if it's his first ever show in London I guess there's a good chance one or two of Pulp may be there. I had a little listen to some of his stuff after hearing Pulp's version of Le Roi Des Fourmis. I really like this one, Ame Câline. Have even butchered it on the piano while trying to work it out... https://youtu.be/BM3abxfYti8?si=asMwyBBpYdLrUrd5 __________________ Tell mester to fck off!*

I was allocated Row Z but I can't go. Too much work and Hammersmith is too far. Enjoy, hope you recognise one or two from your exchange trip to Lyon in '80! __________________ Tell mester to fck off!*

Very enjoyable evening! Felt like being at Paris Bercy for a gig. Started at 7;30pm and ended before 9pm. I normally get in at 9pm! Lots of latecomers, no support. Would have had a few more post gig beers but father in law was taken ill and I had to head over to his place. __________________

Fair play for going, did you recognise any songs/more than you thought? Did he have a full band with him? Meet with Fuss Free? Just looking at the setlist and see that he played Ame Caline. Annoyed with myself that I didn't go, now! __________________ Tell mester to fck off!*

Just looking at the setlist and see that he played Ame Caline. Annoyed with myself that I didn't go, now! More than I thought, my days in Paris must have unknowingly exposed me to plenty of French chansons. Yep, full band, but no strings. Sounded pretty good. I wouldnt have met anyone as I arrived dead on 7:30pm for curtain up. Dont want to be morbid, but seeing Polnareff taken off stage by a couple of helpers reminded me of seeing the same with Brian James a couple of years ago at the same venue. After The Damned played err The Last Time. Hopefully Michel has a few more years. One surprise was that there were a lot of young people in the audience. All French. And no one from Lyon in 1980 __________________
