I can't believe no-one is playing some music from Pierre. I had every LP of him, and now I am in a high tec environment without being able to find a CD of him. Please can we put him back on the map? Where can I get CD's?

I agree - the last time I spoke to Pierre he was intending to release an anthrology.

Pierre your music is great for all stations to listen to as you have a talent that is blessed not only with your voice but the words and history of each song, since I have had the priviledge of reading your Biography by Karen. Your music have a new meaning which I respect so much for the fight you had to fight to live your talent God gave you to fullest. Willem, one of the RSG presenters, just said last week that they were going to play Pierre's music on the "Goud Kis" programme. Can we not perhaps send them your details of how to get hold of you please. Cindy from Umhlnanga Rocks KZN

Cindy - I have passed your comment on to Karen (Pierre's wife). I am interested to see what kind of support Pierre has throughout SA so I have posted a Facebook page entitled, "Friends and Fans Of Pierre De Charmoy". Cut and paste this link:

My hubby & myself recently saw Pierre at the Barnyard theatre....
WOW....what a FANTASTIC show it was. His voice is better (if it could be) than it was 22yrs ago
It would be AWESOME to hear his music being played again
I would LOVE to get a DVD of his....
Look forward to seeing more of Pierre

Hi I have always been a fan of Pierre's. My friends and I used to hang out at La Pergola just so we could hear him sing.I still have my brass bangle we received from the fan club. I would love to get hold of a dvd of Pierre's and be able to replace my Lps with cds. Please let us know of any upcoming concerts.

If you like Pierre and his music you need to email East Coast Radio (or your local radio station) and request his music.

Would love Pierre to perform in Cape Town. I also still have my brass bangle and Lee Cooper t-shirt from years ago, along with photos that i took from live concerts. Have all his lp's but only Hear Me Now on cd, would love to have them all on cd!! He certainly doesn't get enough airtime, all i ever hear is Live On! Best wishes, Tania
