Hugh Coltman (GBR/FRA)

No joke: his first successful band was called The Hoax. Charts or no charts, after his success, Coltman chose to start anew, in the toughest places. As a street musician in Paris, with new recording deals. As a musician and performer whose Soul voice gives you goose pimples, recently in New Orleans he inhaled black music. Strong stuff for Bardentreffen.
