Arnaud Soly said a few words about Karl Tremblay, who awakened his love for Quebec music on the set of “Martin Matte en direct”, just before he performed his very last recorder performance with his nose.
The comedian, who became known on social networks for his nose flute numbers, among other things, said goodbye to his instrument on Thursday evening in a wild number accompanied by Dumas and his musicians. His recorder was then removed and hung from the ceiling of the Espace St-Denis.
Arnaud Soly, a big fan of the Cowboys Fringants and saddened by the death of the band leader, who is also an excellent musician, wanted to say a few words at the beginning of the show to the group that he often listened to in his youth. .
“They were the ones who introduced me to Quebec music,” he told Martin Matte, stating that he was in high school when the album Break syndical was released.
This work, which included the popular successes Ennee, À la manifestation and Toune d’Automne, was important to him. “I was interested in Quebec music, in the culture, in the language, in the humorous, poetic and protesting side. I have a lot to thank them for,” added Arnaud Soly.
“Social networks: I’ve burned myself a little bit”
The comedian, who is very popular and present on social networks, admitted that he had put pressure on himself in recent years but has now learned to deconstruct it.
“It happened like some kind of stupidity that we didn’t understand. “It helped me a lot, but I told myself that I have to give more and more to the public, I have to respond to people, I have to be present and that pressure is on myself, putting it on myself,” he says .
“I was really a little burnt out in there,” he then added, specifying that he was trying to rediscover his pleasure and set his limits.
Balancing work and family is not always easy
Since becoming a father, Arnaud Soly has tried to balance his role at home and his traveling career as best as possible.
Aside from sleep and mental health, one of her biggest challenges is being present and not feeling guilty.
“A tour with children means I am in Abitibi for a week; I feel bad when I’m away, then I’m home for a week; I’m sorry not to do the performances that I refused,” admitted the presenter of Club Soly.
“About trying to make peace with the chaos that comes with early childhood,” he continued.
At the opening of his exhibition, Martin Matte also addressed a few words to Karl Tremblay, the group, his wife Marie-Annick Lépine and their children.
Martin Matte en direct is presented on TVA on Thursdays at 8 p.m.
