Sans Souci: A Tribute to Edith Piaf

Sans Souci: A Tribute to Edith Piaf, Featuring Rachel France and Tom Callwood, presented as part of the Southland Arts Festival

From the gutters of Paris to the nightclubs during the German occupation, Edith Piaf, The Little Sparrow, was one of France’s most famous and best-loved performers. 

Back by popular demand, transporting you again to Paris, ex-pat Southlander, Rachel France, channels the genius that is Edith Piaf, with songs such as La vie en rose and Je ne regrette rien.

While the songs are often profound and poignant, the arrangements are up-beat, with an almost circus-like playfulness.

Accompanied by her partner, Tom Callwood (The Phoenix Foundation, Little Bushmen), on double bass, this promises to be an entertaining and inspirational tribute to Piaf, emulating the love, loss, passion and drama for which she was so famous.

Duration: 80 minutes plus interval.
