yorks5stringer Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Every day I am woken up here in the ‘Stoke Newington’ of the West Country with a tray of the Daily Papers and my Gentleman’s Relish on toast. Reading these newspapers I cannot help but notice the trend of Quizzes amongst the ruling political class. Accordingly, I present The Big Fat Basschat Bootleg Christmas Quiz.

Hellzero Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 20. Wrong answer, Lou Deprijck was born in Lessines. Plastic Bertrand who was born Roger Jouret in Brussels has never sung on that hit, but was also a fake singer on his 4 first albums, only making playback !!! Lou Deprijck has always been the singer, composer, arranger and producer for these first 4 albums. I knew it from the late session drummer Bob Dartsch (original drummer for Ça plane pour moi) since the late 80's and the 2010 final judgment got Lou Deprijck definitely confirmed as the singer for Plastic Bertrand first 4 albums as Roger Jouret eventually recognised on the 28th of July 2010 that he never sung on his first four albums, including the mega hit Ça plane pour moi... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ça_plane_pour_moi https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Deprijck https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_Bertrand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
