She will be performing with violinist Fiona Barrow and accordionist Edward Jay, and songs such as La Vie En Rose and Non Je Ne Regrette Rien will be recreated.

Piaf’s life was the stuff of legend, from her dramatic rise from Paris street urchin to star of international renown.

Her life, however, was anything but La vie en rose, with her later life being overtaken by drugs and injury.
