Bonne Nouvelle are Coralie Hyde (voice) and John Ruddock (guitar) - an acoustic duo based in Frome. From a shared classical background, they have travelled via flamenco (John) and cabaret (Coralie) to a dark but sensuous sound inspired by French band - Nouvelle Vague. They take songs, familiar and unfamiliar, mainly from the early 80s new wave pop era, and reimagine them, casting a new light on the grimy stories and (im)moral tales they tell.

"Bonne Nouvelle's sophisticated fusion of dark and sensuous cabaret with contemporary pop is wonderfully entertaining and delightful on the ear. John's delicately phrased guitar perfectly accompanies Coralie's gliding, melodic vocal, beautifully enriching a cleverly selected set of familiar tunes."
Martin Dimery, Frome Festival Director
