So Frenchy So Chic In The Park returns in January 2016 for another perfect day of music, food, wine and that certain je ne sais quoi that has made it a must-do summer favourite.
LA MUSIQUE:
- The Moroccan born Hindi Zahra has been described as a North-African Patti Smith and likened to a modern day Billie Holiday for her mesmerizing mix of folk and blues.
- Brigitte (actually a duo, Aurélie Saada and Sylvie Hoarau) also sings personal songs, while playing homage to 1970s divas at the same time. Their unique sound is lounge-pop, retro-folk sizzling disco and highly danceable.
- Fulfilling a promise made two years ago to her Australian fans, the talented chanteuse Lou Doillon is making her highly anticipated So Frenchy debut in 2016. For her latest LP, ‘Lay Low’ the former actor-model and now singer-songwriter has moved on from her acoustic debut to find a richer sound (produced by the acclaimed Canadian indie band, Timber Timbre), and a series new songs that move crowds with an honesty and soulful brilliance.
- How to describe the finale act, Soviet Suprem? Quite simply, there’s no-one else like them, gleefully throwing light punk, Bolshoi gypsy beats, hip hop and over-the-top iron curtain theatrics into the mix.
LE MENU:
Crusty baguettes, salad jardinière, petite four chocolate ganache tart – the specially prepared picnic boxes and cheese plates from Bright Young Things and Simmone Logue. Be sure to pre-order. For the extra peckish, a banquet of tempting fare on the day including seafood, crêpes, macaroons and ice cream will be served by the Frenchiest food artisans. Champagne? The finest from Laurent Perrier will be chilled and flowing all day.
LA FAMILLE:
So Frenchy has always been a family friendly event, so bring along your littlest festival fans for face painting, puppet shows, pétanque, croquet and other surprises. Kids under 12 are welcome free of charge.
