French Chanson Acoustic Duet

French Chanson Acoustic Duet offers a set exclusively in the French language, often infused with a touch of jazz. Their repertoire spans from the vintage charm of Edith Piaf to the contemporary allure of Vanessa Paradis and other celebrated artists.

The collaboration between Bournemouth-born guitarist Paul and French-born singer France results in truly unique performances, crafted from their extensive experience to create an entirely individual set list.

France’s extensive background includes performances as the lead singer in various bands at weddings, corporate events, and festivals for prestigious clients like John Lewis, Tonbridge Castle Festival, Lounge on the Farm in Canterbury, The Barfly, and Hammersmith Palais in London. Her primary influences include Edith Piaf, Vanessa Paradis, Serge Gainsbourg, and Jacques Brel.

Guitarist Paul boasts a respected reputation, having graced stages at venues such as Soho Jazz Festival, Pizza Express Dean Street, guitar festivals, and arts centers like Euro Wirral International Guitar Festival and Bath International Guitar Festival.

Paul’s performances are highly virtuosic, imaginative, and expressive. Combined with France’s natural and engaging rapport with the audience, this gives the duo a distinctive and friendly stage presence.
