Saturday 18th December 2004: Cubecinema. Supporting Isan (Morrmusic). The set was played with a mini orchestra: Rachael Dadd on clarinet, George"Headfall" on saxophone, Rory on harp, Victor on casio and Tom Bugs on trombone.
Autumn 2004: Creation and recording of Carmel's short animation film "A Fairy Tale for the rest of us". This 5 minute film produced by Aardman Studios is about love, despair, and beanstalks.
Friday 24th September: Frànçois played support for Gravenhurst (Warp records)and Juana Molina (Domino) at the CubeCinema. Really nice atmosphere. I saw Juana Molina's set and I loved it. It was nice talking in French with her about reasons to keep on playing music when it's already so noisy around. See photos.
Saturday 4th September: Frànçois left the fantastic Bringyourselffest to play a 20 minute piano set at the Folk house for a storytelling and poetry night. Doors: 7.30.
Friday 3rd September 2004: Frànçois took part in the free BringYourSelf Fest Bristol playing at the Here shop (108 Stokes Croft) with Headfall, The Corey-O's and Bucky. The set incorporated some new songs ("Les échafauds brulent", "Back to town"), some songs from the new album ("Morning sale", "Autoroute"), and also some old songs ("Jardins suspendus", "I'm like you") but played in a new way. So it was a different and new set. Also took part in the electronic music workshop, with Sophia Gradin, Tom"Knowledge of Bugs" and George "Headfall" in the Here shop basement on saturday afternoon. |

17 July 2004: Trumpet for the film "Aelita Queen of Mars" at the Ashton Court Festival. It was sunny, the backstage was pretty distracting, everybody was in a good mood. 15 July 2004: Gig at Bar Unlimited, with Knowledge of Bugs, and Max Milton. Sorry i was annoyed by the feedback and I played mostly guitar songs. 4 July 2004: Gig at the Folk House, supporting Rachael Dadd. The sound was good, it was a new crowd but I was confortable, so was Virpie "Bunnyfield" who played violin and sung in Finnish on "Le Chemin du retour". My voice came out naturally. Probably the best gig so far. 12 June 2004: Trumpet for Crescent, in Bristol, walking around the room on "Fountains". Sunny day, Berg Sans Nipple playing only one song, massive parties in some houses somewhere at night, Mark "Float" playing accordion. 9 June 2004: Radio show, on Dialekt Radio, with Aaron "stitchstitch" and translation live by Nicole. I talked a lot, I played acoustic versions of "Anne-Laure dans la gare", "L'Allure Legere" and "Katrina". Never listened to it since.

3 June 2004: Gig at the Polish Club, with Mice Parade and Line. One of those rushed gigs, no soundcheck, no voice in the monitors...oh well, Mice Parade were polite and said "I liked your set man!..." 1st May 2004: Trumpet for Movietone at the Triptyk festival in Glasgow. Walking around the park and the venue with them, drinking wine backstage with Coleen, going to night clubs with Tracyanne. It was just great. |
