Oui Love to promote new French talent on UK tour
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 24 September 2014
The joint venture between Bureau Export and Institut Français to promote French music in the UK, Oui Love, has announced details of its annual tour. New acts looking for recognition on this side of the English channel are Andrea Balency and NLF3.
Project Manager David McKenna tells CMU: “The key thing with Oui Love is that, as well as playing London, groups get to play in other regions of the UK – we’ve had groups like Anoraak and The Shoes in front of audiences they might not otherwise have the opportunity of playing to, and over the dates we’ve done that’s been about 5000 people. It also allows the Bureau Export to forge links with local promoters who might work with more French acts, so it has a wider impact”.
And here are those dates:
29 Sep: Birmingham, Hare & Hounds
30 Sep: Brighton, The Hope
1 Oct: London, The Shacklewell Arms
2 Oct: Edinburgh, Sneaky Pete’s
3 Oct: Middlesbrough, Westgarth Social Club
