RP: Hey.

BiTS: Rachelle?

RP: Yeah. How are you doing? I'm

very happy to hear you.

BiTS: I want to talk to you about
what you've been doing and what I

guess is the new band with Philippe.

RP: Yeah. Yeah, we were on the
phone with our technical team after

our concert in Paris last Sunday and
we were waiting for your call.

PH: Hello Ian.

BiTS: You two have been playing
together for a long time. How did you

find each other? In what way did you
first meet?

RP: We first met many, many years

ago because of an American singer
named Freddie Meyer, and he was an
amazing person. He asked us to play

with him, and I was a little girl, and I played harmonica for, I think, 10 or 12 years.

Philippe’s life was as a professional musician, and he also came to play with Freddie.
We met during his gigs, and years after we came together for different types of

concerts. Many, many years after, we came together much more closely for a project
we managed together, with Celtic music and also blues music, country music, pop
and French songs.
