Thanks to everyone who submitted their answers to the Fourvière competition. For the people who missed it, here's a link to another competition.
Petite mise à jour de dernière minute (il fallait quand même bien qu'on vous en touche quelques mots hein, la soirée mémorable que nous avions passée avec Neil Hannon il y a deux ans étant encore fraîche dans nos esprits!) : The Divine Comedy seront ce lundi soir au théatre romain de Fourvière, cette fois-ci en quatuor. Ils accompagneront sur l'affiche le pianiste et compositeur Burt Bacharach, que l'on peut citer aisément comme l'une des nombreuses influences du songwriter irlandais.
