August news, new gigs and new T-shirts in the making...

For many years, I wanted to create and share some of my lyrics and messages on T-shirts. But I had lots of boxes to tick which made that idea quite tricky to materialise. In short, I wanted the garments to be fair trade, ecologically conscious and using vegan inks. The very idea of helping cotton pickers while not hurting animals as well as minimising the impact on the planet seemed appealing to me. It took me years to translate those wishes into reality.

After simply asking for help, a friend (thanks Kevin) pointed me in the direction of a Tees printing company fulfilling all my requirements. And I will forever be thankful. Thanks to his recommendation, the desire to show solidarity meant that "La Pierre Soudée" could come alive in another art form. After listening and making sense of my crazy ideas, Stefan Alt came up with an amazing design, incorporating some of my lyrics into strong graphic elements. Big thanks to you as well Stefan, I just love it! Do you? :)

My first ever T-shirts will be unveiled and on sale during my forthcoming live shows. It's all kicking off on the 10th of August where I am going to perform in Manchester for the first time.
