PROG EN BEAUCE FESTIVAL (France) : Fantastic performance / Incredible pair with Laetitia & Monique from Harvest

Weend’ô opened the 1st edition of the festival. It was in October 2013 with the 1st album « You Need To Know Yourself »

Weend’ô played last October 2017 a new set with the new songs of the latest album « Time of Awakening »…and we felt so much love inside the hall, we were so glad to meet all the people who have believed in Weendo since our beginning !! It was very special this edition for Weend’ô as we wanted to make them feel proud of us and be not disappointed because they have been waiting for 4 before listening to new songs !!

And we wanted to offer something new too : a pair between Laetitia and Monique (the dutch singer of the spanish band Harvest) on 2 covers of The Gathering « Saturnine » &  » My Electricity » …Please enjoy this live performance filmed at the festival : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMA7luzZujo

 

 

WEEND’ô au FESTIVAL PROG EN BEAUCE : Fantastiques retrouvailles !!! et DUO inédit en live avec Monique de Harvest

Weend’ô avait ouvert la 1ère édition , c’était en Octobre 2013…avec le 1er album « You Need To Know Yourself »

Le groupe s’est fait donc réinviter avec le nouvel album « Time of Awakening » cet octobre 2017 ! et quelles retrouvailles ce fut !!! Encore un week end où l’émotion était très très grande , où les larmes de joie ont coulé car une telle reconnaissance de notre musique et de nos êtres , ça fait l’effet d’un boomerang et c’est violent !

et quel duo inédit avec Monique (chanteuse hollandaise du groupe espagnol « Harvest ») dont voici 2 covers du groupe « The Gathering » chantées sur les titres « Saturnine » & « My Electricity » : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMA7luzZujo

 

 

 

 

THE QUINPHONIC FESTIVAL (Birmingham) : Weend’ô confirm they can play in Metal Festival too !

Unforgetable moments there, again !

To be honest, we did not feel very at ease because we are used to play for prog people or rock people.

At this festival (for metal bands with female vocals), we had to meet a new challenge : Weendo had to confirm/show they have their place in Metal Festivals !L

Well, Weendo received another success ! People were very surprised to discover our band, our music and they confirmed that we should play more in the Metal bands ‘ Festival !

It is up to the organizers…now you know 😉

THE QUINPHONIC FESTIVAL (Birmingham) : Weend’ô a sa place dans les festivals de Métal !

Moments mémorables là encore ! A vrai dire, nous ne partions pas très à l’aise car nous avons l’habitude de jouer plus pour un public très proggueux ou plus rock standard dirons-nous.

Là on avait réellement un défi à relever : celui de montrer que Weend’ô a bien sa place dans le milieu métal (même si on dira pour notre part plutôt rock métal progressif).

eh bien, pari réussi cette fois -ci encore ! à chacun de nos passages sur scène, on sent réellement une surprise de la part des gens, une curiosité, et soudain on les happe dans notre univers et ils n’en ressortent plus…si ! ils repartent avec un CD (lol !) ou bien un pack entier !  Du moins ce qu’il en restait après notre passage au Summer’s End le jour d’avant…

Maintenant on sait que Weend’ô peut intégrer des festivals de métal : avis aux organisateurs…

SUMMER’S END PROG FESTIVAL 2017 : Weend’ô, the Revelation !

We lived a great moment at the Summer’s End Prog Festival in Wales last October !!

Absolutely insane ! The audience was so receptive to our musical universe that we sold nearly all our cds the same night !! Only 4 cds left to assure the merch the next day at the Birmingham’s festival (metal rock bands with female vocals only).

here after, pls find what people said above Weend’ô :

SATURDAY, 7TH OCTOBER 2017

A lovely day greets us as we drive back into Chepstow, park up and stroll to the Drill Hall. It promises to be a good day but it’s an unexpected highlight to start…


Weend’ô (F)

 Tony: Saturday; post breakfast, the machinations of mice, men and bowls of fruit, we arrive at The Drill Hall, Weend’ô have started and the powerful voice that is Laetitia Chaudemanche is demanding that I come and listen. It’s a wow, reminding me of Guesch Patti & Encore, it balances on the proverbial knife edge with both power and poise; without words the band of Térence Nguyen, Maxime Rami and Nathanaël Buis demonstrate a beautiful musicality, paired with Laetitia they become perfection. Yeah, okay, I am enamoured yet again by a great female voice. Yes, I bought their latest, Time of Awakening, and it is a cordon bleu banquette of sound. Do I recommend? Oh yes indeedy.

Jez: I certainly didn’t know much about Weend’ô beforehand, having noted to myself that I needed to investigate their music but never quite getting round to it, but their performance has inspired me to rectify that asap. They played a fascinating set with Laetitia Chaudemanche as the focal point, whether singing beautifully or at her keyboards, her solo piano piece a captivating experience. The band’s music does not fall into easy categorisation, an intriguing amalgam that moved from delicate to much more muscular, the band possessing all the necessary skills to pull it all off with panache. Another highlight of the weekend but from an unexpected source.

From the review on the picture of this article :  https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10156312193437784&set=pcb.10155983359699874&type=3&theater&ifg=1

« …Their focal point is the spectrally attired Laetitia Terence Nguyen, who combines dreamy, powerfully charged vocals with virtuoso piano playing. The band conjure up a late-night, smoky, atmospheric vibe, mixing ethereal keyboards with acoustic and heavy guitars ».

Summer’s End Prog Festival au Pays de Galle le 7 octobre 2017 : Weend’ô la Révélation !

voici qqs retours de personnes présentes ce soir là au festival :
