FRENCH VISITORS TO FOSTER

Every now and then very interesting people pass through Foster and this couple were no exception.  They are a husband and wife, members of a Paris jazz band called Swing Deluxe and it was a pleasure to talk with them about their music.  I took their business card and looked them up on the internet and this is what I found.

Swing Deluxe was formed in 2003 by young musicians from Paris. Year after year, their concerts have evolved into full-scale musical events including singing, swing and Russian cabaret performed at the Jazz clubs of the capital and in various festivals all over France, Europe and the Middle-East.

I'll be searching iTunes for their music, so expect to hear them sometime soon in the bookshop.
