Shut your eyes and you will be transported to Paris where you will hear a selection of French music including works from Edith Piaf, Charles Trennet, Django Reinhardt and Serge Gainsbourg. Along the way you will hear tales of life in Paris throughout the golden era of French music from Offenbach to Gainsbourg.. You will listen to a slice of the French repertoire spanning a century; a performance of their unique arrangements.
The show features the dulcet tones of Parisian born Fifi La Mer on accordion and voice, and the talents of Oliver on clarinet, members of the saxophone family, and accordion.
Together they will transport you to Paris with their repertoire of musical gems, and along the way you will get to enjoy tales of mystery, romance and heartache that we so often associate with the city of lights. Brace yourself for an exiting and charismatic performance.
Fifi and Oliver have been touring the country with their unique show. You may have seen them with their quintet “Oh la la” .They have recently appeared at their sell-out shows at Ronnie Scott’s, Theatres and Arts centres across the country. Oliver regularly performs with the Pasadena roof orchestra, Syd Lawrence Orchestra Ray Gelato, and the BBC big band. They are appearing in the new NatWest advertising campaign.
“Really loved it - very well performed. Also very interesting in the way it illuminated the historical background to the songs.”
