Hello Paris Live Club members and vive la r�volution,
We're in the month of Bastille Day, the day the French mark the start of the revolution. Well here at Paris Live the 14th of July was a significant date in our history as it marked the second month we were on air: vive la radio rosbif.
Special Guests
Down here at the Paris Live Radio studio in Cit� Veron we have great guests passing through every day. Casting our net far and wide we've brought you the best French and the best English speaking musicians. Tryo, the French rockers with a reggae influence chewed the fat on the Afternoon Overdrive, whilst James Taylor and Ken Stringfellow from R.E.M. also chilled with Robbie and Natasha. In July look out for our interview with Robert Smith from The Cure.
Win Prizes
We've also decided to give away as much as we can get our hands on - in June the lucky winners have been able to play golf at the Domaine de Belesbat. Listen out for more golf days out in July! But there aren't just prizes for the wannabe Tiger Woods we've got Family Giveaways to La Mer de Sable and France Miniature.
Your New Guide
July sees exciting changes to our website as our Paris Guide stretches its wings. Go online now and use the Concerts section. You'll know which concerts to go to, which festivals to camp at, and the best soir�es the Parisian night has to offer. One which catches my eye is the Festival des Vielles Charrues where there's something for everyone - with artists ranging from Bowie to The Streets and Patti Smith to IAM.
Our guide will become your Paris bible and by the end of this month we'll give you the definitive daily lowdown in our Today's What's On section.
Talk of the Town
One thing that doesn't change is the buzz about Paris Live Radio- the Figaro and the International Herald Tribune are just the latest to write us up. They've been talking about our AM license - yes, we are in discussions with the CSA so that we can come to you over the airwaves as early as September.
So to our 30 000 daily listeners you keep tuning in and we'll keep you amused, informed and entertained.

THIS MONTH: FOCUS ON THE AFTERNOON OVERDRIVE
PLR : Which guest has been the most interesting for you in June ?
Nat : R.E.M.'s multi talented Ken Stringfellow and his strange sense of humour and dubious obsessions, he really had me in stitches !
Robbie : Well I�m still waiting for our first female guest on the Overdrive but as far as down to earth attitude and passion for his work is concerned it must be James Taylor, for a man with such a history it was a pleasure to have him as a guest.
PLR : What does PARIS LIVE RADIO not know about you ?
Robbie : That I was a professional Oyster diver from the Gower until I saw a giant squid while in action.
Nat : That I�m really tall, blonde and big breasted.
PLR : What was your top tune for the month of June?
Robbie : An oldie that most certainly rocked the studios and created a lot of feed-back from our listeners, Eddie Bo 'Hook and Swing'.
PLR : And the best tune coming up ?
Nat: Beastie Boys 'Ch-check it out', following a quiet period you can always rely on them to produce something wicked.
********************************************************
From 8 till 11 The Breakfast Show have been giving you guys more of their banter, chat, and laughs. Listeners love Angela's delicious voice and live in fear of Paul's bad joke of the day, yet can't explain why they laugh everytime.
Paul : My challenge to our listener's is to bring it on! If you think you've got what it takes then call, if you dare, and try to beat Angela in Fastermind, the quiz where you have to get it wrong to get it right.
Angela : And you'll also get the chance to win tickets to France Miniature, if you beat me that is.
********************************************************
PLR : Myles what's up in Downtime?
Myles : Still bringing you the best in electro. Now I've got ambitious. I want to get someone from the underground overground - I'm calling out to all the bedroom DJs to send me your mixes. I want hour long sets so I can decide who will win the incredible selection of vinyl that Compost Records and Discograph have provided. What are you waiting for?

More from the mysterious Laura G next month.
