Hot Eve at La Bellevilloise!

Tonight, June 15th, was the end of 'Paris Onze Bouge' Festival...
[Paris 11 or Paris onze, gives 'on se bouge', for let's move, let's swing... In short,
let's say Swinging Eleven !


FireTongue featured at La Bellevilloise tonight with 9 other
very good musicians and... the whole concert was like a hellish
ride on a motor unit, with the brass section embroidering their
phrases around the leading beat which rumbled through your
stomach from the beginning until the end !

Unfortunately, no one seems to have published a video of the performance, nor did I
because of memory card problems... but the atmosphere is the same in the following
videos. Enjoy it.
