Parisian born Fifi la Mer and Oliver Wilby present a unique, brand new show that will take you on a journey through 100 years of French music, from Offenbach to Gainsbourg. The show features the dulcet tones of Fifi on accordion and voice, and the talents of Oliver on clarinet, members of the saxophone family, and accordion. Together they will transport you to “the city of lights” 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 Paris.
Fifi and Oliver transport audiences through the music they play. There is narrating about Paris, the music, the composers, a mini French cinema music quiz in the second half. As well as playing beautiful music they make sure they keep the mood upbeat and everyone entertained.
You can expect some music from Offenbach, Satie, Musette (Parisian folk music), Edith Piaf, French chanson, gypsy jazz, French film music and 60/70s French pop.
A very interesting and exiting evening assured.
