Presented by: Louise Blackwell
Adelaide singer Lou Blackwell once sang in the Paris jazz scene and brought her French inspiration back home to Adelaide. She formed a band with some of Adelaide’s finest jazz musicians including Mark Ferguson on piano, Julian Ferraretto on violin, Tom Pulford on clarinet, John Aué on bass and Josh Baldwin/Zed Crawford on drums; Lou Blackwell and the French Set have been performing a fine and faithful rendition of the Great French Songbook for many years.
They have played regular Fringe seasons, winning weekly awards for music and cabaret. Louise presented Love on the Left Bank - Juliette Gréco, the muse of Saint Germain des Prés to critical acclaim at the 2022 Adelaide Cabaret Festival. They have toured to Melbourne several times, with a sell-out Bastille Day concert at Jazzlab this year
