About Christine Bovill
Christine Bovill: Piaf Revisited is a 120-minute cabaret and live music show at the Spiegeltent, performed by Christine Bovill — described as one of Europe's finest interpreters of French song. The self-penned show is not a tribute act: it interweaves the life of Édith Piaf with the story of a young Glasgow girl who first heard No Regrets in school French and found herself transformed. Bovill returns to the venue of her original triumphs with a fresh take on this work. Tickets are £25 and the show is suitable for all ages.
Why see this show?
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.
