Christine Bovill in Concert — Doudrac
Acclaimed Scottish singer Christine Bovill comes to the beautiful village church at Doudrac for two intimate evenings of French chanson, accompanied by Stanley Hanks on piano.
Bovill is particularly celebrated for her interpretations of Édith Piaf and the great French chanson tradition. Her award-winning shows have taken her from sell-out performances at the Edinburgh Fringe to stages internationally, and she has appeared on BBC television and radio. She has also performed with Charles Dumont, composer of Piaf’s legendary Non, je ne regrette rien.
These two Doudrac concerts offer the rather special opportunity to hear an internationally acclaimed performer in the intimate surroundings of a small rural French church.
Tickets: €15
Limited seating — advance booking strongly recommended.
