Editorial: March 2019

OK, admit it, you'd given us up for dead. One solitary post so far this year doesn't look like we've been up to much. Far from it of course, I've been posting up a storm on the French Music Podcast UK Facebook page these last few months, just been giving the longer form blogs an extended break.

But we're back and fully equipped to continue our mission to bring the best in French music to the Anglophone audience. To be honest, I've missed the opportunity to write pieces about some interesting acts rather than just posting video links. Reviews, French music news and the opportunity to listen to some great tunes is what this blog is all about and it's time to get under way.

March 16 does have some added significance round these parts, of course, as it marks the anniversary of when the blog began, back in 2010 with a short piece about the death of Jean Ferat.

A lot of things have changed since then, I've written more obituaries for sure, but the enthusiasm for French music remains undeminished. This year's already seen some strong releases so far, and more to come.

Yes, we've been around for a while, and we'll be around for a while yet. So it's as good a day as any to get the ball rolling again.

Meanwhile, on the French Music Podcast UK Facebook page you'll find French music videos on your timeline several times a day Mon-Fri. Give it a like.

I can be contacted as ever on johnDOTkilbrideAThotmailDOTcom, so promoters, media representatives and labels are always welcome to contact me with recommendations and suggestions about what I should be listening to and putting on a platform here.

I'll do what I can to cover it!

 merci et à bientôt
