It’s a wiry but warm energy that Colyne Laverriere, one-half of Ballydehob-based folk duo Les SalAmandas, exudes over Zoom. With the duo having recently launched their debut album There’s a Sea Between Us at village venue Levis, the French singer is clearly on a little bit of a buzz.
Bone of this might have happened for Laverriere, a self-proclaimed ‘sports girl’, if she hadn’t moved to the West Cork town to find au pair work, to allow her to stay in a country she’d clearly fallen in love with.
