Radio programmes about Brassens
Francophones looking for an in-depth discussion of Brassens' chansons might
like to know that the radio station France Culture broadcast a
series of commemorative programmes Sunday 23rd - Friday 27th October
2006, to mark the 25th anniversary of Brassens' death in October 1981.
The programmes were recommended by our colleagues and translators Dr
Ted Neather and Lesley Lawn as "very
good, erudite". You can 'listen again': google France
Culture then search for Georges Brassens on their site.
