\nMike Lecuyer – Saint Michel de Montaigne, France<\/strong>
\nMike Lecuyer is one of the most important names in French blues. Though he began his love of the blues as a musician, it was his internet creation of La Chaine du Blues (the chain of blues) in 1999 that became his blues calling. This website connects the people of France with the totality of the country\u2019s blues scene. The website, www.bluesfr.net<\/a>, contains detailed information about clubs and festivals throughout France. It also features a comprehensive listing of French blues websites, web sites from other French-speaking countries, e.g., Belgium, Canada, Switzerland, etc., e-interviews, video, guitar instruction and blues news archives. For 12 years, he has coordinated the Tremplin Blues sur Seine (Challenge). He is the co-founder of W3 Bluesradio, the only French blues web radio playing continuous blues. He is also one of the 14 co-founders of France Blues, the new French association dedicated to promoting blues in France.<\/p>\n

\nSoul Bag – Clichy, France<\/strong>
\nElvin Bishop says, \u201cSoul Bag is the best thing to happen to France since Django Reinhardt.\u201d Founded by Jacques P\u00e9rin in 1968, Soul Bag is the oldest blues magazine in France. Since its founding, over 200 issues have been published, covering mainly blues and also soul, rhythm & blues, gospel, funk and zydeco. Though its title might give the impression the magazine\u2019s content is soul, it truly is a blues lover\u2019s find. Published every three months, Soul Bag reaches 3,500 subscribers by mail and another 11,000 through its newsstand sales. The July-September 2011 issue, for example, featured stories on John Lee Hooker, Jr., Derek Trucks, the myth of Robert Johnson, and 30 pages of CD, DVD, and book reviews. Even though it is published thousands of miles from the Delta and in a foreign language, Soul Bag, like so many foreign publications, keeps American blues history and its modern performers alive throughout France.<\/p>\n
