I met somone...



More for the French readers than for the rest of you; I just wanted to tell a small story.

I incidentally met Yvan le Bolloc’h in the street on Monday afternoon. Yvan is famous in France as actor, director, writer and he is a well-known TV personality. I happened to know that, more or less for fun, he has now created some kind of music show together with a group of gypsies (“Yvan le Bolloc’h & Ma Guitare s’appelle Reviens”); it’s definitively not the kind of show where you would expect him. We talked for some ten minutes, we took a photo together (unfortunately not excellent, it was more or less raining) and I promised to attend to his show. He was really nice!

Tonight I went to the very small theatre where they perform (last performance tomorrow) together with my daughter and her boyfriend. We really enjoyed it! They all together - the gypsies of course here being the real playing and singing artists - made a fantastic show. The audience participated by singing, great applauses and bravos!

Afterwards, over a glass, the artists mixed with the spectators. Yvan recognised me and we again exchanged a few words. (Once more for the French readers: I also met Bruno Solo!)

This has started very discretely, but we will see if they can develop it to something for bigger audiences.

(Yvan is the one with some kind of blue shirt in the middle of the photo.)
