Christine Bovill - Paris Revisited

“Scotland’s pre-eminent chanteuse” (Herald Scotland), Christine Bovill has built her reputation on the massively successful sell-out show, “Piaf”. No stranger to the Edinburgh, Christine returns with a revised version of her award winning “Paris” show – Paris Revisited. (Winner of Spirit of the Fringe.) 

She beckons you back to a Parisian-scented twilight world; a demi-monde of heroes, outcasts, cynics and bruised romantics. With drama, pathos and pizzazz, the show casts a sepia-tinged spotlight on the Golden Age of French Song. 

Songs of Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel, Charles Trenet, Barbara, Juliet Greco, Charles Aznavour, Francoise Hardy, Kurt Weill…. are interspersed with wonderful anecdotes from the period. Christine celebrates some of the greatest hits of the 20th century in both English and French…..the show includes My Way, What Now My Love, Autumn Leaves, La Vie En Rose, Let It Be Me, No Regrets, She, Amsterdam…
