Well folks, France is in another lockdown, until at least December 1st. Elliott has just announced the “Corona Couch Concerts – The Return” starting on Friday, 30 October 8pm Paris time. Once again he’ll be playing several songs each night for as long as this new French lockdown lasts. New songs – readings – surprises – Duc de Montesquieu (if he is not sequestered in his chateau) – and a whole lot of Elliott! Just like last time you can tune in via Facebook or Instagram. Send in your requests.
Much thanks to Patrick Dupon the “official” Corona Couch Concerts archivist for keeping track of everything. Here’s a Spotify playlist put together by Patrick for (almost) every single song played so far this time around.
