Jacques is Bacque
Having mastered the art of finding love but learning nothing about keeping it on his round the French world trip at the 2020 SOLD OUT Fringe, he sets off again with hope in his heart and a suitcase of new, but classic, French songs. A true optimist, our Jacques.
The show is a tasty baguette, split lengthways and spread with humour, filled with jazz and pop tunes sourced from the corners of the French world and topped with emotions for that extra crunch. Bon, non? Join us for a feast.
Presented by: Les Flâneurs Volants
With a French soul bronzed by the Adelaide sun, Les Flâneurs Volants revels in engaging their audiences, evoking emotions ranging from pure joy to the despair of love lost….três French, non?
Les Flâneurs Volants is a trio featuring evocative singer Jean-Marc Spiler, as Franco-Aussie as a croissant with Vegemite, bluesy jazz guitarist Paul Burns, and pumping accordionist Steve Oppes. Les Flâneurs Volants will be joined by Ian Davis on double bass and Lewis Todd on drums for Jacques is Bacque.
With decades of live performance collectively in bands of varying style, Les Flâneurs Volants cites the influence of the past greats
of French music – Piaf, Trenet – more recent artists - Higelin, Dutronc – with many stops in between. Add to that the music of Quebec, Louisiana and the Caribbean.
