Chryde, founder of the website La Blogothèque, wanted to shake things up and find another way to share music and Vincent Moon wanted to film music differently. Chryde offered Moon to go and film musicians in Paris. The so called Take-Away Shows (or the French title Les Concerts a Emporter) exist since April 2006. Comparable with the field recordings of Alan Lomax or the Peel Sessions of John Peel, Moon has set up a large collection of unique single take recordings enhanced with artistic filmed video footage. The fast filming process he uses is a form of guerrilla filmmaking. The sessions are usually two or three tracks filmed improvised in an unusual environment and as such they often had a rough and ready, demo-like feel, somewhere between a live performance and a finished music video. These live, unusually staged performances differ from the artifice of traditional music videos in favor of single-take, organic and primarily acoustic sessions.
Piers and Camille cover 'One Of These Things First' by Nick Drake. Beautiful and haunting performance. Filmed for La Blogotheque.

"Gay church folk music" is a band self-description in case you wondered. Another takeaway show, another gift to the internet and we its denizens.
