Le Clou

The "three musketeers" have been a close team for 25 years, a fact that becomes evident after just a few bars. Their French flair quickly conjures up images of Delta swamps and alligators: Michel David, the charismatic charmer from Paris/France, impresses with his gravelly voice toned by good red wine; Yves Gueit, gently makes the smokey air vibrate with his Cajun accordion, while the group's joker Johannes Epremian, frenetically aces over the strings of his fiddle. These three completely differing personalities come together as a very exciting and almost telepathic musical entity. Cajun-accordion and fiddle support the raw, powerful vocals; bass and drums inject the required push and slide guitar or saxophone provide the songs with a real southern feeling. The band is jumping and threatens to set the hall on fire.

LE CLOU has long been a well established name on concert and festival stages throughout Europe. The band has been a headliner since their 1983 TV breakthrough in the Eurovision broadcast "Songs, Rhythms & Melodies" which was seen by over 400 million viewers and ever since then the band has had regular guest spots on radio and TV. They won the "German Record Critics Prize" two years running and have been presented with awards from all over Europe. They even had a chart success with their instrumental number "Le Printemps Cadien".
