Dear Val.
We are new to your blog and was introduced by a friend.
I have to tell you and your readers about last night.
My wife and I and some friends drove down to Gaillac to attend the Entente Cordiale Concert. I have to say we were very dubious but thought, well it's in aid of a good cause, the weathers good, with good friends, it can't be that bad.
Well. WOW! We were blown away by the presentation. This guy is clearly a professional or if not, he should be.
Where to start? Considering there was just him on the stage, The stage set up was something else with lights and lasers and a curtain at the back of hime where the lights were changing to the beats of the music.
He drew the audience in. He performed 3 x 30 minute sessions. His 1st outfit was reminiscent of Elvis at his best: black and gold with sparkling diamonds. His next session he wore a white tuxedo and his last session a full dress suit. The amount of effort he put in was incredulous. And as for his voice! What a talent. He sand old songs, new songs. Some in English and a lot in French. I've never seen so many people up dancing. He literally sang something for everyone.
I asked an entente person and discovered it was his son controlling the lighting and effects and the sound. The quality of the sound was..... Talk about quality. All too frequently you get to one of these events and the the volume is deafening and then you can't hear the singer if you wanted to. The clarity was fabulous. Even though he was using backing tracks, everything was spot on. All credit to his son.
I would like to finish by saying that if anyone local is booking acts or is thinking of a special event, please go look this guy up. He has a website at www.martinstmartin.fr.
Thanks to your blog we took a chance and ended up with the most fabulous evening. I say to all your readers. If you haver an opportunity to se this guy, don't think twice, go! You won't be disappointed.
Harold.
