The jury, Charles Droste (Theatre Amphion in Doetinchem), Anne van Rijn (cabaretduo Dames na Vieren) and singer-songwriter Marike Jager, said: “If a band in it’s early stages is this good, you have to give it a chance. If its about ‘strong silence’ or about an unsure love in a mocking walz, the band keeps it’s back straight”.
We are really happy with this and will use the money we won for new recordings. You can see pictures under Photo’s and you can watch the winning song via the following link:
On the website ongekendtalent.nl there was a contest you could subscribe to. A contest where a masterclass given by Esther Maas was to be won. Esther herself picked a vocalist she would want to give a masterclass to. And she picked me! This is really great news because Esther Maas is a great vocal teacher (on of the best in Holland!). She is a classical vocalist herself, but supports many professional vocalists in many different styles. The masterclass will be filmed 
Hurray!

After working closely with “Podiumstart” for the past year and a half it is time for a next step with manager Nick Steenge (nicksteenge.com). Podiumstart focusses on supporting and advising starting bands. They have given Le Titre the attention and care it needed to get started. We look back on a very productive and valuable collaboration. We are very thankful towards Anna and Malou (Podiumstart) for this.
And now the next step… Under the management of Nick Steenge we will continue what we started in 2008. And of course; play till we drop.

Le Titre shall be reinforced with trumpet player Cees Bruinsma on the 5th of May (Groningen, Local Heroes stage, 18:00). They will also be performing live on OOG radio at 19:30.
After winning the first round in Meppe, Le Titre won the Finals of the Dicky Woodstock Contest. This gives them the opportunity to play prime time on the Dicky Woodstock Festival 2010! The judges commented on the originality of the music, Sofie’s voice and a solid stage performance. The finals took place in De Karre in Tuk. What a great place to play!

Singer Sofie of the band Le Titre compares herself to Amanda Palmer. You can call the ex- Dresden Doll a good singer, but Sofie does herself short with this comparison. Both sing with persuading emotion but Sofie can perform small songs with a big voice in a more powerful way, without losing her calm voice.

Review 3 voor 12 Women In Rock, 25th of November 2009. (Harrie Verveer)
There already is quite of an audience in the gymhall Meulvliet in Tholen, when the show of Le Titre starts. Despite the fact that this is a calm opening compared to what the rest of the festival will bring, the performance is not dull at all. In contrary! The music is fine and there is not much to criticise on this area, but the voice of singer Sofie Letitre is something you can call outstanding.

Le Titre. Though the name may at first sound rather exotic, it does fascinate. One would assume that this name (The Title in French) was especially chosen, but such is not the case. It simply is the surname of singer/song writer and founder of the band, Sofie Letitre. This singer and pianist with her remarkable sound, gathered a group of broadminded musicians.
