Source Alliance FrancaiseLouis Bertignac LIVE! Gaelic Theatre, Surry Hills - 2 October 2010
French rock legend, guitarist with the French rock group Telephone, and artistic collaborator with Carla Bruni
Louis Bertignac made a name for himself on the international music scene as guitarist with the legendary French rock group Téléphone
If, in the 70's and 80's, Téléphone were the French equivalent of The Rolling Stones, then Bertignac was the definitive Gallic version of Keith Richards. When Téléphone split in 1986, Bertignac took on the role of Lonesome Guitar Man, launching a successful career as a solo musician.
His first solo album in nine years was released in February 2005, with the very apt title "Longtemps" (a long time). Ten of the twelve songs were written by Carla Bruni. The album found a balance between feminine sensibility and guitar hero antics, and let Bertignac display his real talent. The first single from the album was "Je joue" (I play). More at ease on stage than ever, Bertignac took to the road on a tour of France, playing to a full house at the European in Paris on April 12.
In the course of his long and turbulent career, Bertignac has established himself as one of the greatest French guitarists of all time.
Louis Bertignac certainly remains France's favourite "guitar hero".
