French Boutik

French Boutik are a Paris based "pop moderniste" quintet. Although they are clearly 1960s influenced, this combo takes the moderniste part of their tagline seriously and avoids retro déjà vu, offering up a delightful original concoction of classic pop melodies, harmony drenched male/female vocals, a soupçon of swirling organ, and sharp French and English lyrics inspired by heroes such as Jacques Dutronc and Ray Davies but firmly planted in the present.

One of the highest regarded rock n roll bands to emerge from Cornwall, The Forty Fours take influence from traditional blues and merseybeat to create an energising live set of covers and original material.
