COLLÈGE VERLAINE

THIS WEEK: Poppy from 5e B sends us her review:Adele 21

This is Adele’s second CD. She writes her own songs, and sings them too, so she’s a singer-songwriter. In fact, she plays the piano and the guitar and lots of other instruments. This CD is called ‘21’ because Adele was twenty-one years old when she recorded it. The music she sings is a mixture of blues, pop and soul. ‘21’ was released in January 2011 and is so popular… it was number one in the charts for eighteen weeks! I always feel relaxed and cheerful when I listen to her album so I often listen to it when I get home from school. Sometimes the lyrics are sad. My favourite song is ‘Rolling in the deep’.

The Zutons:You Can Do Anything

by Théo, from 5e C

I like listening to this CD because

The Zutons are great! They are from

Liverpool. They started playing together

in 2001. This is the band's third CD —

I've got them all.

The lyrics are very happy — I love

singing them in the morning when

I wake up! My favourite instruments are

the drums, I always feel full of energy

when I listen to them and it's so right

for their music genre: indie-rock.

My favourite song is 'Always Right

Behind You', it's really cool!

Music in Britain

In ScotlandThe bagpipes are Scotland’s national instrument. Every August, more than 200 musicians play at a special event at Edinburgh Castle. It’s called the ‘Military Tattoo’. Scottish pipers always wear the traditional kilt. They sometimes wear a special hat too. In Glasgow they celebrate the World Bagpipe Championships every year.

In WalesWales is sometimes called ‘The Land of Song’ because choirs are very popular there – lots of Welsh people love singing! Folk music is always popular, but there are also a lot of pop singers from Wales. There’s a big music festival every August, called Eisteddfod. It’s the biggest competitive music festival in Europe, and the songs are always in Welsh!
