A word of warning : 'friends requests' from other musicians, record labels, festivals, radio stations etc will be turned down in most cases. This is not meant to reflect on anything other than the impossibility to deal with the huge number of messages, bulletins (and outright spam) that would come my way if I accepted everyone. Please do not feel insulted if a request is refused. You can always add a message to your request if you wish: that'll certainly make me think twice! Comments including photographs, banners, videos and the like will also be denied, unless they have a relevance to this site.
1 September 2008 - French-speaking visitors might feel like paying me a visit here. Which is more or less the musical diary of someone who's lucky enough not to have to pay for his tickets. A word of warning: the emphasis is put, and strongly, on classical music.

A potted biography could read like this: Louis Philippe - French musician and writer, born in Normandy, lived in Paris, Brussels and now London, which has been his residence since 1987. Loves his Burgundy wine, Arsenal FC, Francis Poulenc and the poetry of Philip Larkin. So-called 'cult artist' associated with él records in the late eighties, with a small but dedicated fan base; 17 albums released to this date, plus many collaborations with other artists (Valérie Lemercier, April March, Mathilde Santing, Cathal Coughlan, Cinnamon, The Clientele, La Buena Vida, Bertrand Burgalat, Sean O'Hagan, HaLo, Keiichi Suzuki, PJ Proby, Simon Fisher-Turner, Laila Amezian, etc); better known as a political essayist and football writer in his native country; lesser known for his knowledge of edible fungi. Trained as a philosophy teacher, first real job as a cook. Decent-ish chess player. Co-author of the 'Dictionnaire du Rock'. Very busy. Make that very very busy.
