More French than the French", the trio of French Toast features chanteuse Linn Lorkin “the Piaf of the Pacific”, Hershal Herscher accordéoniste and Aaron Coddel, bassiste. With a large repertoire of well- known French chansons sung in French and English and occasional forays into Italian and German, they have been delighting audiences in New Zealand for many years now, effortlessly taking them on a magic musical carpet ride to an intimate café in the heart of Paris, a piazza on a warm Roman night, a Berlin cabaret. They have done three national NZ tours and have performed in Sydney, Melbourne, Florida's South Beach and the Island of Jersey. Their 2 CDs "In a French Café" and "French Toast, Live at Chez Nous" have been consistent best-sellers.
