Bruxelles Ma Belle, An Pierlé
Live Session
16/01/2013
In Belgium, An Pierlé needs no introduction. Sparkling, talented, extremely funny… Each of An’s concerts is a true show.
We were really very happy, and also very stressed at the idea of having An all to ourselves for a good two hours. We went to a place she knows well, behind a piano she knows just as well. It was therefore confined in the Archiduc, still closed to the public, that the singer exclusively unveiled a few titles from her upcoming album.
