Eve Loiseau Performs Songs of Edith Piaf on Tour

As the 50th anniversary of Piaf's death approaches, this powerful celebration comes from a company whose credentials include Kneehigh Theatre and Canteve Vocale. As well as La vie en rose, Sous le ciel de Paris, Milord, Autumn Leaves, Padam Padam, C'est merveilleux, L'accordéoniste, Non je ne regrette rien and many more, the show features a lively narrative.

Eve Loiseau's passion for Piaf developed at a young age, around the dining table in South East France. Coming from a French family of singers, long summer meals were often rounded off with French chansons. Piaf is inimitable, but Eve's lustrous French tone captures the essence of the Piaf performance in this tribute to the 'Little Sparrow'.

Since her debut at the Royal Festival Hall in Feb 2002, Eve Loiseau has given recitals in England, New York & France and has featured on BBC R3, WNYC Radio, PMW Music and the BBC production, The Roman Mysteries. Eve performs with Canteve Vocale and the baroque ensemble, Duo Dolcetini.

Fiona Barrow began the violin at 7 years old, happily surviving a classical training to move on to musical forms where foot-tapping is not reprimanded. Since then she has travelled far and wide, performing in bars, streets, boats, trains, caves, cathedrals and the odd roundabout! She has worked extensively in theatre as a performer, musical director and composer, including a sell-out run on Broadway and tours of Europe, Australia, and USA. Fiona is a regular player with Kneehigh.
