16 years ago we bought this Citroen 2CV and drove it to the south of France for a music conference in Cannes. It got a rusty in our yard and the foxes moved in through the hole in the roof. Well... it brings us great joy to report that the 2CV rides again!

It's been a huge privilege for us to work with Madness and their team.
We're delighted they made the top ten this week with Hit Parade straight in at no. 8
You’ve only gone and made our new greatest hits album ‘Hit Parade’ No. 8 in the UK Official Albums Chart 😎
Thank you MADHEADS far and wide, the celebrations start now at the House of Fun Weekender!

🎶✨ What an incredible journey it has been! I had the great honor of serving as Head of the Jury for the Grand Final of Virtuosos— a celebration of young classical talent from around the world. The level of artistry, passion, and dedication these young musicians showed was truly inspiring. And we have also prepared a special song for you with my fellow jury members: José Carreras, HAUSER and Dimash! We’ll be singing “My Way”.
🎻🌍 From breathtaking performances to emotional moments, this finale is one you won’t want to miss. Join me in supporting the next generation of classical stars!

So finally, PIAS sold to Universal. But don't worry, it wasn't their soul they sold, just their shares.
Looking forward to the collective shrug of indifference from the indie sector, but if you do give a shit, independent options do still exist.

Their contemporary sound design combined with meticulous period sampling evoke a world of 60s & 70s movie soundtracks, library music and vintage electronica.
