Attracted to the British music scene of the time, Fabienne
moved to London in 1996, almost immediately joining the
Bristols, a then studio
project consisting of Liam Watson and Ed Deegan, two producer-engineers
at Toerag Studios.
Fabienne had never really sung before but after Liam's
proposition for an audition and knowing that his taste in
music was so perfectly matching hers, she was determined
to give it a go. The first single 'Questions I Can't Answer'
was recorded in a couple of hours, the first vocal take
being used on the record that came out the same year on
a Damaged Goods 7”. The Bristols were by then willing
to make the most of it and in order to play live and tour
decided to form a full line up, including members of the
Headcoats, Kaisers and
Cee Bee Beaumont.
After two albums, a few singles and several tours of Europe,
the Bristols came to an end when Fabienne was unable to
find a suitable new bass player to replace the recently
departed one. Eager to carry on singing, Fabienne went solo,
getting backing from various musicians but with no fixed
line up.
With the help of Liam Watson producing, Fabienne recorded
her first album 'No Time For Sorrows' concentrating on a
more elaborate but similar style she had previously experienced
with the Bristols. One of the key tracks, 'I'm Gonna Haunt
You' received extensive airplay on Australian radio, as
well as the French 'Laisse Tomber Les Filles'.
One track 'Pied Piper' has recently been used
on a American TV advert for the PayLess Shoe Store!
A few years later and after a few months of recording sessions
at Toe Rag, the second album 'Between You And Me'
is now out, again thanks to some great playing and impeccable
production from Messrs Liam Watson and Ed Turner. The album
features writing contributions from Pete
Molinari, George Miller and Peder Bernhardt and this
time round more songs in French. We hope it will be music
to your ears. It also comes in a nice package
