After the success last year when Stromae was invited to perform to a lunchtime crowd at the Place des Festivals to promote the launch of the TV show En Mode Salvail on the TV channel V, last Thursday the group Les Trois Accords performed to promote the launch of the 2nd season (29th September) of Éric Salvail’s show.

Accompanied by 20 members of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra who were seated at the centre of the Place des Festivals, Les Trois Accords group arrived and performed Sur le bord du lac and J’aime ta grande-mère from the top of a London red bus.

Now autumn is officially upon us, I’m looking forward to getting out a bit more in the coming weeks to take advantage of the colour fest that normally engulfs the city from now until mid-October.

Thanks for stopping by. Until next time.
