With my trunk open and my acoustic guitar, and my girlfriend Nathalie, at the time
Bruno Pelletier was on the set of the weekend show that sets the tone for the weekend, Ça finit bien la semaine.
Get the scoop
Did you see anything? Discretion guaranteed.
In the course of his appearance, he shared more than one anecdote — and some of them were genuinely surprising!
Recall that recently, he also appeared on Enfants de la télé, where he recounted a moment that was much more moving in his past career.
ADISQ and Mario Pelchat!
That was the day he had to take the ADISQ stage, only hours after his mother had passed away, sharing confidences in the wake of a clip…
All of this alongside Mario Pelchat, two big names in the field at the time, who were going to sing their hits together.
«This is something that was proposed to us (…) Mario was really on board, we wanted to sing each other’s songs. It wasn’t about going out and performing each person’s own hit, it was about true sharing. But what happened too (…) is that my mother died the night before… and at that moment, I wasn’t doing well at ADISQ and it shouldn’t show. And there I look at the footage and it doesn’t show at all», he said, while revealing that Mario had been amazing at that moment.
Bruno’s Early Earnings!
But back to the moment on Ça finit bien la semaine, where he touched on a variety of topics, including his beginnings as a singer and artist.
A time far less popular than today… yes, where he sang in the little corners of Quebec City, far from the spotlight and the recognition he now enjoys.
Château Frontenac, with his ex?
«My first gigs were at the Château Frontenac, on the forecourt, with my trunk open and my acoustic guitar, and my girlfriend Nathalie, at the time, who played the flute. Then we sang Harmonium, Paul Piché. We’d pull in about 50 to 75 Canadian dollars at a time in 1982. Not bad at all; we were really proud of what we had accomplished», Bruno said with pride, years later.
We can understand that in those days, as a street performer, the pay was pretty decent!
One thing’s for sure: Bruno has come a long way since those evenings singing on the forecourt.
