Here's a review of Shape Shifter from Ili Tullloch
for Brisbane's leading street magazine Rave...
My favourite bits of it are "Honest and genuine [...] aggressively good acoustic guitar [...] Soloacoustic’s French musical background shines through, his confidence in being a goof is endearing [...] Title track Shapeshifter is perfect [...] well composed [...]"
... but I might be a little bias of course...

BUY GUILLAUME's CDs
I have entirely sold out of all my previous CDs and I don't have time to record a new one just yet, so I have released a "best of" compilation, which is available at shows and soon in the shops and online... Watch this space! - Dated 11 July 2009
Woodford Folk Festival 07-08
Troubadour Stage Sunday 30th Dec 2007
Here's a low-res small portion of a live performance of 'Shape Shifter',
with Mal Webb doing some impromptu beatboxing.
Later he told me that as soon as I started the song, he thought "Hoo! 80s drums!"
and jumped on stage to add beats, like only he knows how... Fun!
This was quickly captured for posterity by Emma Luker (from The Fiddle Chicks)
on her mobile phone, from backstage...
Well, I suppose you had to be there... Hehe...

More Live to air songs...
These were recorded on
The Three D Lounge with Dale
on Tuesday 9th October 2007.
You can listen to a podcast edit of a live-to-air appearance
which was on Friday 16 May 2008.
And you can also download it if you prefer.
There are five live-to-air songs: Shape Shifter URFES (a Mal Webb cover) My Afghani Heritage (a Soursob Bob cover) I Never Know (a new song co-written with Nazz from King Daddy)
and a made up song for the "Ukelele challenge"
(very moving, that one...).
This 28 minute (17Mb) edit version of the radio show
features a live-to-air song 'I Never Know',
and an exclusive preview of my version
of Baterz' song 'Babysitter',
as well as the interview and a Joe Jackson track...

My friend Matt made this video to celebrate the end of Bush's US presidency. It features my version of Bob Dylan's song Masters Of War.

Speed Caravan in Adelaide
I met Parisian band Speed Caravan when they came to play Womadelaide in March 2009. They asked me to sing on stage with them on their version of The Cure's Killing An Arab, which I did on the Saturday on Stage 2 of the festival, and again at The Massonic Hall in town on the Monday... On the Sunday, I had a small gig at The Crown & Anchor, and so I asked them to come jam with me on a song... Simoh (percussion) and Pasco (bass) jumped on (with no rehearsal) and joined me on my version of Serge Gainsbourg's Couleur Café. Anne was there to film a bit of it... And Emma captured a bit of the Massonic Hall show the next day...

When I was in Canberra in June 2009, I was invited to be guest to "Insatiable Banalities",
which is a local radio program in the form of a podcast...
I played a few songs live and there was lots of chatting - the name of the program is an indication! : )
It goes for two hours I think, but the songs are actually time labelled, so you can find them easily if you want to skip the chit-chat...

This crazy french name of mine is pronounced "GIAM" (Liam with a G, like "guitar")
I'm a French/Aussie performer with quirky songs about love (good, bad, or weird), scary friends, filthy habits and the Aussie and outback culture.
They tell me the French influence gives my music and songs a special twist...
Honestly, I don't really know about that. I call it acoustic folk pop, kinda!
G’day super trooper – just letting you know that I am playing on Friday August 7 @ The Wheatsheaf in Thebarton. I’m on at 9pm – entry is free. I will be supporting Joe Murphy and band.
