Ooooh I’ve been busy, folks, but here’s something fun in between podcasts: Johnny Hallyday performing Une boom chez John. Besides the fact that Johnny’s got the Elvis thing down pat and has been singing for almost 50 years (!), he is known in the Anglo-Saxon world as ‘who?’ and ‘the biggest French rock star you’ve never heard of’.

C’est Extra at Backstage Lounge of the Arts Club Theater sur Granville Island, 1585 Johnston Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Frenchy jazzy swing.

The Radio Oh la la webradio has just been beefed up with a few new acts, including some Jacqueline Taïeb and the Amsterdam Beat Club, a musical blind date that turned into peace and love, and some love and wine by The Lovers, a wonderful, tongue-in-cheek duet.

If you have any French-language music that you think suits the Radio Oh la la bill, that is in French and retro-like, please contact me!
