Renaud concert


As a surprise for Mathilde, whose birthday is coming up, I decided to surprise her by getting some tickets to the Renaud concert, who was playing at Nikaia.

Renaud is a crusty old French protest singer (for lack of a better word)... A very famous geezer, who is a bit worse for wear these days because of having divorced his wife and drank way too much Pastis than what's good for you.... (which didn't do his voice a lot of good).



But in spite of this, the concert was absolutely brilliant! OK, so I didn't understand half of what the guy was saying (and even less of what he was singing), but the atmosphere was just great. One things for sure, this guy doesn't like the new French president... ;-) And he kept at it for more than 3 hours, not bad for an old geezer with 56 years on the meter...
