Festivals and cultural events Puy-De-Dôme

Like John... like who? John? Why John? Why John? Maybe they'll tell you that at a concert. They, because Like John it is a duo: Claire and Gaëlle, composers, authors, singers, musicians. On stage, they accompany their voices on the flute, cello and other strings and electronic rhythms. Their music and lyrics bounce like light and acidic bubbles of life that we cross with joy, while leaving a small place for a sweet melancholy. The pep of the duo and their incisive and always welcome humour plunge the spectator into their universe. A beautiful French/English pop that makes you want to see them and see them again.
