Huguette Sings at the Mumford - Paris je t'aime - Fri 24th Nov
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Huguette sings
Paris je t'aime

Friday 24th November, 7.30pm

In this concert, Paris je t'aime, Huguette's repertoire includes songs
about Paris and what makes its appeal so unique: some of its districts,
their characters, some moments in its history, conveyed by songwriters
such as Aristide Bruant, Jean Renoir, Jean-Baptiste Clement, Francis
Lemarque, Serge Gainsbourg, Leo Ferre and, of course, Charles Trenet.

Through their talents you will discover a Paris both tender and cruel,
boisterous and romantic, often nostalgic, forever changing, yet eternal.

As usual, Huguette will briefly introduce her songs in English.
She will be accompanied on piano by Peter Britton.

Tickets: £8.00 (£6.00 concessions)
