Ses 3 meilleurs souvenirs du FIUL / Her TOP 3 FIUL memories:

1. Le fait que les tentes n'aient quasiment pas servi, tant on a joué (principalement) sans aucune notion de l'heure pendant tout le week end.
2. LE SON ! Sur scène, le-son-qui-fait-trop-plaisir (bravo les techniciens).
3. La miséricordieuse australienne qui m'a gentiment offert sa crème solaire quand elle a vu que je me transformais en panneau de signalisation.

1. The fact that the tents were hardly used, as we played (mostly) without any notion of time throughout the weekend.
2. THE SOUND! On stage, the-very-pleasing-sound (well done sound engineers).
3. The merciful Australian who kindly offered me her sunscreen when she saw that I turned into a road sign.

Call Me Maybe - Carly Rae Jepsen


[Am] I threw a wish in the well, [F] Don't ask me, I'll never tell
[C] I looked to you as it fell, [G] and now you're in my way
[Am] I trade my soul for a wish, [F] pennies and dimes for a kiss
[C] I wasn't looking for this, [G] but now you're in my way

[Am] Your stare was holdin', [F] Ripped jeans, skin was showin'
[C] Hot night, wind was blowin' [G] Where you think you're going, baby?

[Am] Hey, I just met you [C] [G], and this is crazy [Am] [F] but here's my number [C] [G], so call me, maybe?
[Am] It's hard to look right [C] [G], at you baby [Am] [F], but here's my number [C] [G], so call me, maybe?
[Am] Hey, I just met you [C] [G], and this is crazy [Am] [F] but here's my number [C] [G], so call me, maybe?
[Am] And all the other boys [C] [G], try to chase me [Am] [F], but here's my number [C] [G], so call me, maybe?

[Am] You took your time with the call, [F] I took no time with the fall
[C] You gave me nothing at all, [G] but still, you're in my way
[Am] I beg, and borrow and steal [F] Have foresight and it's real
[C] I didn't know I would feel it, [G] but it's in my way

[Am] Your stare was holdin', [F] Ripped jeans, skin was showin'
[C] Hot night, wind was blowin' [G] Where you think you're going, baby?

[Am] Hey, I just met you [C] [G], and this is crazy [Am] [F] but here's my number [C] [G], so call me, maybe?
[Am] It's hard to look right [C] [G], at you baby [Am] [F], but here's my number [C] [G], so call me, maybe?
[Am] Hey, I just met you [C] [G], and this is crazy [Am] [F] but here's my number [C] [G], so call me, maybe?
[Am] And all the other boys [C] [G], try to chase me [Am] [F], but here's my number [C] [G], so call me, maybe?

[Am] Before you came [F] into my life I missed you so bad [C] I missed you so bad [G] I missed you so, so bad
[Am] Before you came [F] into my life I missed you so bad [C] I missed you so bad [G] I missed you so, so bad

[Am]   [C] [G]   [Am] [F]   [C] [G]

[Am] It's hard to look right [C] [G], at you baby [Am] [F], but here's my number [C] [G], so call me, maybe?
[Am] Hey, I just met you [C] [G], and this is crazy [Am] [F] but here's my number [C] [G], so call me, maybe?

[Am] Before you came [F] into my life I missed you so bad [C] I missed you so bad [G] I missed you so, so bad
[Am] Before you came [F] into my life I missed you so bad [C] And you should [G] know that So call me, maybe?

Nous sommes fiers de vous présenter notre nouveau sponsor, KALA.

Merci Mike pour ton soutien!

We are proud to introduce our new sponsor, KALA.

Thanks Mike for your support!

1. Salut Mike. Présente toi.
Je suis Mike Upton, fondateur de Kala Brand Music Company localisé dans le nord de la Californie.

2. Parle nous de Kala. Quand est-ce que l'aventure a commencé, les gammes de produits, les nouveautés, etc
J'ai commencé à travailler pour Hohner en 1995. En 1998, nous avons commencé à développer une ligne de ukulélés. C'est là que j'ai vraiment commencé à m'intéresser à cet instrument. En 2005, j'ai lancé Kala. Etant déjà dans cette industrie et je voulais le faire pour moi-même avec mes idées. Déjà au début des années 2000 j'ai vu l'opportunité. A l'époque il n'y avait pas beaucoup de gens intéressés - juste assez pour déceler le début d'une véritable tendance. Aujourd'hui, nous construisons plus de 180 modèles de ukulélé, y compris des ukulélés de voyage et des basses.

1. Hello Mike. Please introduce yourself.
I'm Mike Upton, founder of Kala Brand Music Company in northern California.

2. Tell us a bit more about Kala. When did it start, product range, new products etc
I started working for Hohner in 1995. In 1998, we started developing a line of ukuleles, and that’s where I really got interested in the instrument. In 2005, I started Kala. I was already in that business and wanted to do it for myself and use my own ideas. I saw an opportunity, even back in the early 2000s. There weren’t that many people interested then — just enough to see the beginning of a real trend. Today we build 180-plus models of ukulele, including travel and bass variations.

OH SUSANNA

I (C)come from Alabama with my banjo on my (G7)knee
I'm (C)going to Louisiana, my true love (G)for to (C)see
It (C)rained all night, the day I left, the weather it was (G)dry
The (C)sun so hot, I froze to death. Susanna, (G)don't you (C)cry

(F)Oh, Susanna, (C)don't you (D7)cry for (G)me
For I (C)come from Alabama
With my banjo (G)on my (C)knee

I (C)had a dream the other night when everything was (G7)still
I (C)thought I saw Susanna A-coming (G)down the (C)hill
The (C)buckwheat cake, was in her mouth
The tear was In her (G)eye
I (C)said, I'm coming from the south Susanna, don't (G)you (C)cry

(F)Oh, Susanna, (C)don't you (D7)cry for (G)me
For I (C)come from Alabama
With my banjo (G)on my (C)knee

I (C)soon will be in New Orleans, and then I'll look a-(G7)round,
And (C)when I find Susanna, I'll fall up (G)on the (C)ground.
And (C)if I do not find her, this darkey'll surely (G)die,
And (C)when I'm dead and buried
Su-(G)sanna, (G7)don't you (C)cry.

(F)Oh, Susanna, (C)don't you (D7)cry for (G)me
For I (C)come from Alabama
With my banjo (G)on my (C)knee

1. Comment avez-vous commencé le ukulélé?
Ma fiancée adorée m'en a offert un d'entrée de gamme alors que j'intégrais une équipe d'animateurs où il y avait déjà deux guitaristes. Cela m'a permis d'apporter une autre couleur.
2. Depuis combien de temps jouez-vous du ukulélé?
6 ans.
3. Quel style de musique jouez-vous?
Des chansons afro-caribéennes et festives principalement.
4. Quels sont vos ukulélés préférés?
Mon tout dernier Kamaka Pineapple soprano bien sûr.
5. Pourquoi voulez-vous venir à notre festival?
Pour retrouver l'esprit d'ouverture du festival 2013, la diversité musicale, internationale, d'âges.

1. What made you start playing the ukulele?
My dearest darling offered me a first price uke when I joined a band which already had two guitar players. I was able to add a new color to the music.
2. How long have you been playing the ukulele?
6 years.
3. What kind of music style do you play on it?
Mainly afro-caribbean and party tunes.
4. What are your favorite ukuleles?
Obviously my brand new Kamaka Pineapple soprano uke.
5. What makes you want to come to our uke fest?
To feel the easy going spirit again and to hear different styles and sounds, to meet different people, of different ages and nationalities.
