Clair Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Goodness this takes me back!I remember them them from the 70's! (not the same children, obviously [:P] That would be seriously bizarre! [:D]) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemonimo Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 I had never heard of them before, Clair, but I'm looking forward to their concert. Let's hope it'll be a sell-out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 If my memory serves me right, aren't they all from one school, a high-catho one, somewhere in the north of France Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachapapa Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 They hit the news a couple of years back!The good offices of the Préfet de l'Oise managed to pull them back from a life of pseudo-slave labour "singing for their supper".[:)]http://www.lefigaro.fr/musique/2009/04/30/03006-20090430ARTFIG00268-couac-chez-les-petits-chanteurs-a-la-croix-de-bois-.phpHighly recommended...a gallic institution with offshoots around the world.

woolybanana Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 My neighbour, a retired Protestant pastor, had a stepson at their school. He told horror stories of paedophile activity but said that it was all hushed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemonimo Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 Oh my Lord! We have been asked to accommodate the choir boys in families in the village but single men aren't eligible! If there are offshoots around the world PP, they must be doing something right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5-element Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Like Clair, this takes me very far back. I am not quite so keen on all the modern stuff they do these days, much prefer their classic songs, when they were not trying to be hip. Being outdated is what suits them best.Good luck Gem with finding "the right" families to accommodate them. It is not at all surprising that there would be a hotbed of pedophilia all around "les petits chanteurs", they always had that aura! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
