Bonjour

Nous avons reçu quelques messages de nos amis sur la liste de diffusion des Portraits qui nous demandent ce qui est arrivé de la série des « Friday Songs », où nous nous sommes mis au défi de sortir une toute nouvelle chanson tous les vendredis soirs pendant 2012 sur notre page Facebook, avec toutes les chansons basées sur des idées qui nous sont envoyées par vous - les paroles, la poésie, des histoires, des images, des rêves .... quoi que ce soit que vous voulez nous envoyer comme inspiration !

En fait, les « Friday Songs » continuent… nous venons de publier la chanson n ° 11, Validation. Nous n'avons pas voulu remplir votre boîte e-mail avec des messages tous les vendredis soirs pour vous annoncer la sortie de la dernière chanson. Néanmoins, tous les vendredis à 20 heures, heure française, nous avons publié sur notre facebook une petite vidéo qui va avec la chanson de la semaine : www.facebook.com/theportraitsmusic N’hésitez pas à cliquer sur ce lien maintenant pour nous laisser des commentaires…

En plus vous pouvez télécharger toutes les chansons gratuitement à partir de http://www.theportraitsmusic.com/fridaysong.cfm où vous avez également la possibilité de faire un petit don au Burma Campaign basé en Grande Bretagne, qui soutient les droits de l'homme en Birmanie.

Merci pour toutes vos idées – on va faire le maximum pour utiliser la plupart comme inspiration avant la fin de l’année !

Merci encore si vous étiez à la Salle Kanapé II hier soir à Lagord – on a passé un super moment avec vous !

Take care, see you soon

Hello there

We’ve received a few messages from our friends on The Portraits’ mailing list asking whatever happened to the “Friday Song” series, where we set ourselves the challenge of releasing a brand new track each and every Friday throughout 2012 on our Facebook, and based on ideas sent in by you – lyrics, poetry, stories, pictures, dreams…. anything at all you’d like to inspire us with!

The answer is that the Friday Song is alive and well, and we have just published song no 11, Validation. It’s just that we haven’t wanted to clog up your email inbox with a message each and every Friday telling you that the latest song is now out. Each Friday at 7pm UK time, we’ve posted on our facebook a little video to go with that week’s song. Do get over to our Facebook wall and leave a comment or two: www.facebook.com/theportraitsmusic 

Alternatively, you can download all the songs for free from http://www.theportraitsmusic.com/fridaysong.cfm where you also have the option to make a small donation to the Burma Campaign which supports human rights in Burma.

We intended to keep the Friday Songs entirely separate from the songs on our new album due in June. But we must confess we’ve cheated slightly as we were so pleased with a couple of the Friday Songs, they will appear on the album in a re-recorded version.

Thanks as ever for all of your support, and keep the ideas flooding in – we’ll get around to as many as we possibly can.

Take care

Lorraine, Jeremy, Shemi and Vincent

We had an incredible time in the company of a whole array of other fantastic musicians last night at the Blackheath Halls in SE London at the superb Concert For Andy – the place was packed – an audience of a good 500 people, and such an amazing reception for our new song in memory of Andy – Trilby Man – which we had hundreds singing with us.

Thanks Phil – by god he’d be proud of what you, and Kim and the family, and everybody else, have achieved in his name.
