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.

She now returns with Piaf Revisited and looks back on her remarkable journey with a fresh take on this self-penned work. At the heart of the story is a young Glasgow girl, reluctant in school French until she heard ‘that song’. Her journey is interwoven with Edith Piaf’s life and those incredible songs.

An award-winning songwriter in her own right, Bovill has toured throughout Europe and the Far East with her self-penned homage to the Little Sparrow, appearing on BBC Newsnight and on BBC Radio 4’s series, Soul Music.

Her own compositions have appeared in film and TV. During her Edinburgh Fringe sell-out run at the Famous Speigeltent, she shared the stage with Charles Dumont, great friend of Piaf and, most famously, composer of ‘Non, Je ne Regrette Rien‘. Validation for her work didn’t come much higher…

Becoming‘the stuff of Fringe legend‘ BroadwayBaby.com, Piaf Revisited stirs in the eternal Parisian tangle of passion and pain.

English singer/songwriter Beth Orton has long been regarded as possessing one of the most unique and expressive voices in music – a voice that has grown evermore rich and wise over time.

“Music has always worked as a way of seeing,” she says. “I found myself writing until the words lost sense, which is really scary in the real world but really interesting when you’re making music. It gives all meaning new meaning. One of the most exciting elements of writing songs is how they reveal their truth as the process develops.”

Since her early work with William Orbit and The Chemical Brothers, Orton has occupied a singular position in British music, moving fluidly between worlds while remaining beholden to none. Her debut albums Trailer Park and the Mercury Prize-winning Central Reservation established her as a vital new voice, pairing intimate, confessional songwriting with adventurous production.

Subsequent releases including Daybreaker and Comfort of Strangers deepened her folk roots, while collaborations with artists such as Johnny Marr, Jim O’Rourke, and Emmylou Harris underscored her restless creative spirit.

Later albums Sugaring Season and Kidsticks found Orton working closely with producer Andrew Hung, embracing rawness, improvisation, and emotional immediacy. Her most recent work, Weather Alive, recorded largely live and shaped by motherhood and loss, has been widely praised for its stark beauty and spiritual intensity — a testament to an artist still pushing forward, still searching, and still finding new ways to tell the truth.
