We were camping in the Loire Valley last week and caught the tail end of Hurricane Bertha – torrential rain that meant everything was damp and nothing was drying out. We were listening to the iPod on shuffle (it was linked to a Bluetooth speaker) inside the tent on a particularly bad night when \u201cAnd the Rain\u201d by Freschard<\/a> came on\u2026..a very French sounding woman singing \u201cand the rain came spattering down again\u201d\u2026.how ironic! It rained so much that we abandoned the camp and went to my sister-in-laws in Paris for the second half of the week – Tres Chic.<\/p>\n

On returning to the UK I got a Facebook message from those lovely people at the Brudenell to say that Stanley Brinks and Freschard were playing the next day! Both of them with the Wave Pictures as their backing band!! And for free!!! Wow!!!!<\/p>\n

Sledge, Martin and Gail came down and Mark and Johnny were in attendance for what turned into quite a night. Stanley Brinks (he plays a lot of the stuff on her LP) played with the Wave Pictures for Clemence Freschard\u2019s set \u2013 her singing accent was just as French as it sounds on record and any doubts that she was ‘putting it on’ were dispelled when she had a glass of red wine on stage \u2013 you can\u2019t get more French than that\u2026..<\/p>\n

The set came to a close and she hadn\u2019t done \u2018And the rain\u2019 so as they were going off I asked for it – and they obliged\u2026\u2026such a lovely tune, such lovely people.<\/a><\/p>\n

Stanley Brinks you may know from \u2018Herman Dune\u2019. His single \u2018Orange Juice\u2019<\/a> with the Wave Pictures is a big favourite in our house \u2013 Uplifting and catchy as hell, it just hits the spot – and the orange vinyl looks great on the turntable (as does Freschard\u2019s \u2018Boom Biddy Boom\u2019 \u2013 also in Orange vinyl). He’s done one LP with the Wave Pictures and has another with Clemence about to be released<\/a> (she’s also in his other project ‘Stanley Brinks and the Kaniks’<\/a>). They did a great set full of poignant lyrics and fab tunes. As well as guitar, Mr Brinks also plays a ?clarinet in what sounds like a Moroccan style.<\/p>\n

‘Orange Juice’ was the encore<\/a> and as we left I saw top pop promoter Mr Strangeways having a pint outside \u2013 \u201cJohnny!\u201d \u201cYeah?\u201d says the Wave Pictures drummer who he was talking to – \u201cOh, sorry Johnny, I meant that Johnny\u2026\u201d Had a nice chat with both before heading for home. A thoroughly enjoyable evening \u2013 Merci Beaucoup!<\/p>\n
