Christine Bovill’s award-winning shows “Piaf” and “Paris” have established her reputation as one of Europe’s finest interpreters of French song. In her new show- a complete sell-out at the Edinburgh Fringe 2022- she travels into the 60s and the Americanisation of French music: le yé-yé. A time of great cultural change in France, would the high art of chanson survive…? This new show offers a sexy and delicious celebration of the Golden Age of French song and how it evolved during the Swinging Sixties. Singing in both French and English, she honours many stars including Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel, Serge Gainsbourg and Françoise Hardy, The Beatles, Frank Sinatra….
