French Take Away

La Blogotheque Take Away Shows
Website: HERE
YouTube channel: HERE

You see some real good buskers in the street every now and again. People with exceptional talent without record deals trying to make it in the World as they try to traverse the wasteland of despair and deception that is the Modern Music Industry. (Okay that' a bit melodramatic but it damn hard to break into the music industry).

Then there is the notion of the Take Away Show which operates from the 'La Blogotheque' website. A French Music Blog group that organises Street Performances around France and the sometimes around the World with Professional Musicians.

There is something magical about watching famous Musicians playing stripped down versions of their big hits in the streets of Paris, something out of a fairytale book. It would be dream like if you were wondering the back streets of Paris to find your favourite band just sitting in the park playing your favourite song.

Then again of course most of the featured artists are indie music stars and most passer-bys might not even know that they have professional musicians performing for them.

Here are some popular performances

Phoenix "1901"


Tom Jones "We Got Love"


The Kooks "Ooh La"


Vampire Weekend "Kids Don't Stand a Chance"


Jason Miraz "It's a Lovely Day"


Bloc Party "This Modern Love"
