CHANT'APPART French Music Festival – February / March 2009
Since 1995, the association Chants-Sons has been organising the Chant’Appart Festival, an original and unparalleled event in France. The formula is a simple one: the artists selected perform in the private home of individuals or in various local small halls. These evening events consist of two concerts followed by a meeting with the artists over a buffet meal. Propinquity and conviviality are the words which describe best those concerts!
DUC DES LOMBARDS PARIS – 10th November 2008
With their natural talent for singing together, in harmony or in counterpoint, in a manner reminiscent of the Andrews Sisters or the Young Girls of Rochefort, the repertoire of Alice & Cécile is a subtle combination of jazz and French songs. Their own very personal style has appealed to the guitarist and producer Patrick SAUSSOIS.
