Les Francs Garçons (CHANTEURS ET CHANTEUSES)
150 Bd de la Villette, 75019 Paris, France

Folk outfit Les Franc Garcons were a seven piece band consisting of Michel Hubert, Claude Polivert, Michel Prouteau, Gérard Martin Dupont, Bernard Fevre, Claude Vanzini, and Alain Robin. They were regular performers at Don Camilo, the Parisian cabaret in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés quartier. The band were early adopters of a live stereo sound, thanks to their keyboardist-cum-sound engineer Bernard Fèvre, who also employed his kit of homemade psychedelic effects. Their blend of folk music was both traditional and avant-garde, a style that ultimately didn’t endure beyond the 1970s.
