French Gigs is a 1983 live collaborative album of improvised experimental music by Lol Coxhill and Fred Frith. It was recorded live in France in Limoges and Poitiers in October 1978, and in Reims in 1981. The album was released on LP by AAA in 1983,[1] on CD by AYAA in 1991,[2] and again on CD by Klanggalerie in 2020.[3] The 1991 release includes a new track recorded via correspondence in 1991–92 by Coxhill in London and Frith in Munich,[2][4] while the 2020 release includes the extra 1991 track, plus another new track recorded in Aubervilliers, France in 1999, the last performance by Coxhill and Frith. The 2020 release was re-mastered by Myles Boison.[3][5]
