120 minutesSpiegeltent
The Paris icon and the Glasgow girl. 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. With a fresh take on this self-penned work, she now returns with Piaf Revisite, and to the venue of her original triumphs, looking back on her remarkable journey. At the heart of the story is a young Glasgow girl, reluctant in school French until she heard No Regrets. Her journey is interwoven with Edith Piaf's life and those incredible songs.

Two hours of French song, Glasgow storytelling, and live music at the Spiegeltent — Bovill has been performing this self-penned show long enough to make it feel lived-in rather than rehearsed. A proper cabaret evening.
