Piaf, “A world class event” according to newspapers and theatre goers, captures moments and hearts as they take you back to a time forgotten. The show with the original line-up of Franky and Thinus was presented in the Crassula Hall, Betty's Bay during March 2022. In a letter to the editor of the Overstrand Herald (Kleinmond) and The Village News (Hermanus) it was described as magnificent, stunning, mesmerising and thrilling, and that Franky's powerful voice and Thinus' accompaniment were world class.

Franky will perform 13 of Edith Piaf's most famous songs like ‘No Regrets', ‘La Vie En Rose', ‘Milord', ‘Under Paris Skies', ‘Chante Moi', ‘Autumn Leaves' and ‘If You Love Me' and ‘Heaven have Mercy'. The songs will be sung in English as what Edith performed in America.
