Is it the first day of summer/spring where you are?
It kind-of sort-of was here in London. Still freezing, but the city looked amazing in the sun, me walking across London Bridge and up to St Pauls.
Do I sound like Tommy Steele yet?
But, you know, maybe there’s something even more spirit-raising about the first day of summer in someone else’s city.
All of which flannel is to introduce yet another sunny French pop group with acoustic guitars and the spirit of Amelie.
Ok, so this is La Fiancee. And so is this – the first a sunny stroll round the suburbs, the second a live version of a Brigitte Bardot song.
I don’t know much about them. Try googling them. Info is scant.
But this sort of thing is going on all the time in France, as the brilliant blog www.fillessourires.com knows and shows.
The thing is… you might think French pop music isn’t as clever or angry or original or edgy or rock as, I dunno, the lumpen indie you may favour personally.
But it is much much nicer, isn’t it?
