Hi,
This is a message to Roger Glover from Pierre Bronchain
Dear Roger,
We met in London in 1976, When I came to promote the film “The Butterfly Ball ” of which you composed the music. The public relation of Anthony Klinger put us in touch and we had dinner with your wife first in London and then in a cute restaurant overlooking the Thames river in Eton. Debbie Kuhl your sister in law was there
and we connected quite nicely for a short while. I visited your house, having a date with Debbie, coming back from Tintagel castle, and while I was at your house
the boot of my car, a blue Toyota Celica, caught on fire
because of stones picked up in Merlin’s cave rubbing each other in a towel, the whole thing causing a small commotion in your place. At the time I had just come back from South africa, and was distributing ” The Butterfly Ball ” in the Benelux.
The last time we communicated together was when you advised me of the birth of your daughter, your first I think, with a beautiful and humoristic card with you and your wife in a stable in front of the cradle, you dressed as a beduin and your wife as an oriental princess.
I live now in Corsica where I have 5 children with my Corsican wife Marie-jeanne. I do organic farming but I am still in music as I perform as Electro DJ,with my son Seymour,also DJ.
Knowing that you are coming to Corsica in Patrimonio on 22nd July, I of course wanted to come and see your concert but all the seats are sold out. Is there any way you could push for us to have a few seats? We are willing to pay for them naturally.
We could also organize a party with the best local DJs for after the show in case you have nothing hot yet prepared for you.
I hope you get this message and that I will have the opportunity to welcome you in Corsica and return to you
the warmth and good vibes with which you received me in your big mansion in Buckinghamshire
Love PIERRE
