Radio 1 plug for Toujours Là 15th August 2000 Phillip gets a leBLEU mention on Radio 1 by Emma B (sitting in for Jo Whiley). Toujours Là was suggested for tomorrow as a link from Something for the Weekend by Divine Comedy. Emma B read out "The organ solo in 'something for the weekend' sounds just like my wife's alarm clock. As she is married to me and my single 'Toujours Là' by leBLEU is EGG15 on Pickled Egg records why not play this tomorrow" from Phillip's email. Single pulled for Album 12th July 2000 Nigel the boss at Pickled Egg records loves the leBLEU album so much that the second leBLEU single has been pulled so that the album can be released instead. The 11 track album includes both songs from the first single plus 5 new songs, 2 instrumentals plus intro and outro tracks. Once the album has been mastered sound clips of all tracks will be posted in the lesSOUND CLIPS. |
