THE ARTISTS

Emily Loizeau

Emily Loizeau is a kindred spirit of American free-folk artists like Devendra Banhart and Joanna Newsom. She releases her second album, Pays Sauvage, on Bella Union later in the year after the huge commercial and critical success of her debut, L’Autre Bout du Monde, in France. An album of dreamy and often gently surrealistic folk, it finds her collaborating with anti-folk heroes Herman Dune and like-minded Franco-American group Moriarty. http://www.myspace.com/emilyloizeau

Anne Pigalle

Anne Pigalle is the very image of bohemian chic and embodies the spirit of Edith Piaf and Marlene Dietrich. She is best known for her mid-eighties album on ZZT with Trevor Horn, the classic Everything Could Be So Perfect, but in her diverse career she has worked with people as varied as Adrian Sherwood, Leonard Cohen, John Lee Hooker
and David Cunningham of the Flying Lizards.

Holden

Holden are based around the core of guitarist Mocke and singer Armelle Pioline. Over four gorgeous albums of deceptive sonic and emotional complexity, and through their collaboration with maverick producer AtomTM, they’ve perfected a uniquely ghostly sound. They will be performing specially as a duo.

About Rockfort

Rockfort began life as a French music radio show on Resonance 104.4FM (www.resonancefm.com), in London in 2005, presented by Ludovic Merle (FR) and David McKenna (GB), with the aim of highlighting the flowering of talent in France since the 90s French Touch explosion, while also looking back at classics from the 50s onwards. Since the inception of the show, Rockfort has also been running and promoting live nights featuring the cream of up-and-coming French acts, first at The Social in Little Portland Street, and then at The Windmill in Brixton.
