Piaf Sat 5 April, 7.30pm Christine Bovill - Piaf Trailer “A brilliant evening with a consummate performer.” “A beautiful voice … The whole experience was engaging and uplifting.” “It was a truly memorable evening!” “Delighted with such wonderful singing and the whole story of French music. We would love to see her again.” “Loved her voice and humour!” Previous Audience Feedback There is only one month to go until we welcome Christine Bovill back, by popular demand, to the Clonter stage, and you are not too late to book tickets. This is not a tribute show! Christine Bovill established her reputation as one of Europe’s finest interpreters of French song with her smash-hit Piaf. She now returns with a revised version of the show and looks back on her remarkable journey with a fresh take on this self-penned work. At the heart of the story is a young Glasgow girl, reluctant in school French until she heard ‘that song’. Her journey is interwoven with Edith Piaf’s life and those incredible songs. An award-winning songwriter in her own right, Bovill has toured throughout Europe and the Far East with her self-penned homage to the Little Sparrow, appearing on BBC Newsnight and on BBC Radio 4’s series, Soul Music. Her own compositions have appeared in film and TV. During her Edinburgh Fringe sell-out run at the Famous Speigeltent, she shared the stage with Charles Dumont, great friend of Piaf and, most famously, composer of ‘Non, Je ne Regrette Rien‘. Validation for her work didn’t come much higher… Becoming ‘the stuff of Fringe legend‘ (BroadwayBaby.com), Piaf stirs in the eternal Parisian tangle of passion and pain.
