Welcome to 2024

 So it's suddenly 2024. We managed a few posts last year, but looking ahead with our New Year 

resolutions hat on, we're aiming for a bit more over the next 12 months. Can we do it? We'll certainly try.

There are a few other projects in development this year on the book front, that will hopefully bear fruit before the summer and possibly again later in the year. Obviously, we'll let you know when things shape up.

In the meantime, there's a mountain of festive cheese that won't eat itself, some strange drinks that need to be finished off and it's still officially a holiday here in Scotland on January 2. 

It's been good to concentrate on more lengthy pieces in the past few months rather than just focusing on French music news as new things emerge, I'll aim to do a bit of both. 

Meanwhile, it's an interesting year ahead, with Paris coming under international attention with the Olympics over the summer. Hopefully, this will mean some French music acts get a bit more international attention than usual. There's more than Gainsbourg, Hallyday and Eurovision - not that there;'s anything particularly wrong with these of course - and we'll be across as much of it as we possibly can.

I'm also aiming to spread the word about what we do here and hopefully establish this site a bit better. The old Blogger template was fine in the olden days (yes, we've been going that long!) but it might be time to finally look at a refresh. You'll know it when you see it...

I'll get the ball rolling and see where it ends up.
