Porty Fringe presents: Paris Revisited with Christine Bovill

“Scotland’s pre-eminent chanteuse” (Herald Scotland), Christine Bovill has built her reputation on the massively successful sell-out show, “Piaf”. Christine returns with a revised version of her award winning “Paris” show – Paris Revisited. She beckons you back to a Parisian-scented twilight world; a demi-monde of heroes, outcasts, cynics and bruised romantics. With drama, pathos and pizzazz, the show casts a sepia-tinged spotlight on the Golden Age of French Song.
