The French DADGAD master talks about practicing scales and some of his right-hand techniques during an impromptu July 2013 interview with Barry Cleveland.
I was lucky enough to attend a workshop with Pierre in the Blue Mountains near Sydney, Australia a couple of years ago. I am still inspired and amazed by his technique, his compositions and his beautiful playing...
Got to hang out with Pierre a bit last week after a show of his in Virginia! What a treat to talk about red wines with the Maestro!! I first saw him perform back in 1982 and his playing is better than ever. By the end of the show, my face was sore from smiling so much.
never herd this guy before, i'm abit more than impressed! class act. i just got a lowden and started looking through vids.. Man i honestly never thought an acoustic sound sooo F**kn glorious!!!
known pierre since we first met as main line guests (Foggy) on the Cambridge folk festival 1980..also compered for him ..great style and very different and nice guy .. met in Sheffield recently and Ashton U Lyne .still impresses me .. still has the passion .. stay well old friend GDC.
As always happens, I watch one bensusan video, my mouth falls open. I mostly stop breathing - I flow from one to another, rewards and rematch----two hours later...
Amazing that behind every six string is the possibility for this beauty. I find it funny when Pierre stares you down while he plays a passage. It is like he is saying something, and his eyes and facial expression show it, but he is playing and instrument. Just funny.
Oh how I hate terrace recordings... Wasn't there a nice sofa in some of the rooms inside...? While being there, they could have recorded it next to a blasting furnace in a foundry
