Follow General Bye Bye on their DIY tour of the United States, where they will be introducing unsuspecting American audiences to some of the new songs we've been writing together recently, including Physics and Maths.

• Physics and Maths

Early Saturday evening, my daughter and I were among the forty or fifty lucky people who gathered in an apartment at a secret location somewhere in Paris to watch Rivkah perform at the Oliver Peel Session #16.

She even sang the song we wrote together, Splitting The Atom - and it was the first time I'd ever heard it!

It was quite a moving experience to discover one of my songs in a live setting, as opposed to listening to an mp3, and together with the intimate atmosphere of the "concert en appartement", it all added up to make a beautiful moment for me.

Plus, my daughter told me afterwards she was very proud.

Vielen Dank Oliver, merci Rivkah.

On Sunday, eliotE & the Ritournelles played a "brunch concert" to a packed-out Bellevilloise... and, much to the delight of the little lady in question, eliotE dedicated a rollicking version of "Pour Les Enfants Qui Ont Peur de l'Orage" to my five-year-old daughter, who spent most of the concert dancing away right in front of the stage.

It was certainly enough to warm the cockles of my little heart.

Tuesday, 9th October, eliotE & the Ritournelles are supporting Rivkah at Le Pop In (105 rue Amelot, 75011 Paris).

I'll be there - and it will be the first time I've ever heard any of my lyrics sung live.

Arcade Fire, Bjork, CSS, The Jesus and Mary Chain... see you there!

Earlier this week, I attended the first "Soirée à emporter".

Arriving at the ungodly hour of half past eight, I thought I would have been in plenty of time, but as it turned out the queue was already halfway round the block and I didn't make it through the doors of the Flèche d'Or until just before midnight.

Once inside, I said hello to EliotE, I drank a beer, and then ...

And then...

For once, words fail me. Take a look for yourself at why it might have been worth queuing for three hours to see first Zach Condon, the man behind Beruit, and then the brassy Balkan brilliance that followed.
