"They didn't come for that, but these musicians sang me 'Happy birthday'", specifies with humility Louis Bertignac on Europe 1. "We were recording the album

Another world

and the producer knew all these people there."

The other members of the group then explain to the producer that Louis Bertignac's 30th birthday is approaching.

"Do you want an intimate little birthday between you? Or do you want me to invite people?", He asks her then. 

An ox all night

Telephone then recorded his album in the countryside of Sussex, in the south of England.

A region where Louis Bertignac does not know many people.

"As long as you can, invite all the people you've worked with," jokes the Telephone guitarist.

"All these musicians came for him too, because his birthday was a week before and he grouped the two birthdays together."

In any case, all this did not prevent Louis Bertignac from meeting his childhood idols.

And play with them.

"Every time I was introduced to a guy, I told him that I was a fan of his and that we could jam at the studio after the cake," he recalls.

"Jimmy Page and John Entwistle came. Coincidentally, the two who had no band left at the time were the ones who came to jam. Clapton came in, listened, but he didn't play . So it was a sublime jam. With Jimmy Paige, John Entwistle, Telephone drummer Richard Kolinka, and me. It was a great moment."
