Radio-Interview EN FRANÇAIS by Eléonore Nicolas
Here I explain how I grew up in France, without TV or Radio, just live music at home, a bit cut off from the world.
How later as a pre-teenager, I discovered Jacques Brel, and how it’s his fault I had my first hangover at the age of 12.
Then, why I came to Ireland 13 years ago and why I stayed.
Why I took a 4-hour long bath before my first gig in Ireland.
What it is for me to be on stage, how I deal with the emotion, the trance, the fear of the audience, etc…
For everybody who wants to improve their French!
To the moon
Superb original song written IN ENGLISH by my brother-in-law Pierre Laplace. The song is illustrated with vintage sequences of Tex Avery footage.
La noyée
On this particular day, I was invited to sing as a guest of Ariel Hernandez and Dermot Dunne. My daughter would not let go of my leg. What could I do? First time on stage for her.
Sympathique
I’m singing here for RTE (Télévision Irlandaise), accompanied by superb violinist Oleg Ponomarev , and incredible guitarist Ariel Hernandez who left us to return to the sun of Argentina. We’re currently planning a tour together over there.
Irish Times
“Timeless and unapologetically contemporary, Caroline Moreau’s music belongs to another time and yet manages to root itself in the present with a rare vitality.Her voice is that perfectly pitched combination of French sultriness and quintessentially European insouciance. Her partnership with violinist and producer Oleg Ponomarev is fired by a shared appetite for wicked invention and reinvention, which reaches it’s zenith in her magnificent reading of Barbara’s “Nantes”. Debuts don’t come much more accomplished than this.”
