  • Carosel reveal track from new album, en Francais!

    caroselParisien based Irish duo, Carosel revealed a new track from their forthcoming album at an intimate gig in the world famous Shakespeare & Co. in Paris. It’s more than just a bookshop with the proprietors providing artist’s space within the building. The song ‘Je Reviens Vers Toi’ (Come Back To You for our non francophiles), is the first time the pair have performed in the language of their adopted land.

    Check out the interview I did with Michelle at Christmas for Culture Cafe. Michelle’s chat starts at 15 minutes 30 seconds.

    Culture Cafe 16I know, I’m bad, My apologies for not getting this up for now, been busy busy with college.. nearly there thank jebus!

    In this episode of the Culture Cafe, I had the utmost pleasure of meeting Shirley Lewis and Lucy Jules who are two of George Michael’s backing singers. I’ve decided not to include their interview in the podcast as we had a chat in their hotel bar and there’s some music in the background. I don’t really want to be accused of letting 30 seconds of recognizable copyright music be downloaded so I will put the audio on youtube during the week.
