Free Cabaret / Chanson mp3s

Hi all. Bit of a niche interest, but a few years ago I saw an amazing (in my view) singer, who sings continental-style chanson, in the tradition of Jacques Brel, and I was amazed. To an English ear it might sound more like something from a musical, so if you like that... there are sad songs and funny songs.

Anyway it turns out that modest-quality - ok for a computer - copies of most of his songs are downloadable from his website (it's because of lazy website programming, but someone told him and he says he's not bothered so don't feel guilty).

No financial connection, though I have seen him about a dozen times since and had him to sing at two nights I've run, so I should probably declare that :cheesy:

For the other end of the musical spectrum, the blog here has regular free downloads from up and coming bands. http://www.indie-mp3.co.uk/
