Chloé Mons Musicians

Née à Lille, Chloé Mons a grandi dans un univers de rock’n roll, d’art contemporain et de cinéma, avec des parents collectionneurs et éclectiques. Sa rencontre avec le photographe américain Tom Sewell est fondatrice. Pendant six ans, elle devient sa muse et pose pour lui entre Mysore et Venise, Paris et Hawai. En 1992, elle choisit de se consacrer au théâtre et entre au Conservatoire national de théâtre de Lille où elle restera 4 ans. Elle soutient à Paris une maîtrise de cinéma en 1997, et est choisie la même année par Jacques Audiard pour figurer dans son clip de « La Nuit je mens » d’Alain Bashung. S’opère une grande et longue rencontre sentimentale et artistique avec le chanteur. Ils enregistrent en 2002 leur version du Cantique des Cantiques et plus tard, en 2006, Alain Bashung lui prêtera sa voix dans La Ballade de Calamity Jane, que Chloé Mons adapte, écrit et compose.

Originaire de Grande-Bretagne, Mike Lewis a fini par consacrer toute sa vie aux fameuses guitares en m&eacute;tal.</span>

LA Guitars & Ukulele Manufactures

In 1978, after 8-years of experience as a guitar-player and singer in several French pop and rock bands, I started on the crazy (but so exciting) project to create and produce high-end guitars in Toulouse, in the South-West of France, a city well-known for its famous artists and its really active music scene!

I first started an efficient and reliable repair shop dedicated to all stringed instruments. This shop brought a lot of knowledge and experience, as well as many different and interesting customers through our Custom Shop models! Then, thanks to many musician friends who had built a great image for Lâg guitars on stage and in studio, we introduced our first creations to guitar dealers and players; in France first, then all around Europe, with a lot of success.

Paris Uke Fest Events

Savarez S.A. Strings

Benefiting from the most recent discoveries, the classical guitar strings (three trebles strings made at first of plain gut and basses strings made of copper wound on silk (later on silver plated copper wound on silk)) have evolved into the use of monofilament nylon called plain nylon for the three trebles strings and of silver plated copper wound for the three basses strings.

> These are the strings I've been using exclusively on all my ukuleles for the past 10+ years. - Curt

Ukulele Boudoir Clubs

An informal ukulele society. Holds monthly cabarets at Aux Petits Joueurs in Paris as well as picnics, workshops, concerts and an annual ukulele festival.

Just browsing over both books, they look fantastic! I'm a guitarist and uke player for over 25 years and was thinking about writing a ukulele book but you've already written what I think are the best, most comprehensive and thorough books I've ever seen for the instrument. I just might end up buying every book you've written and I'll be giving my highest recommendation for your books to my friends and students. Thank you so much for taking the time to write such great books!Peter Rhee
