Close your eyes and you will be transported to Paris where you’ll hear a selection of French music including works from Edith Piaf, Charles Trenet, Django Reinhardt and Serge Gainsbourg. All illustrated with tales of life in Paris throughout the golden era of French music, spanning over a century from around 1880, all brought up to date by Fifi and Oliver’s arrangements.
They’ve been touring the country to loads of happy audiences with this unique show – plus as their quintet “Oh la la”, played a sold-out show at Ronnie Scott’s in London. Oliver regularly performs with the Pasadena Roof Orchestra, the Syd Lawrence Orchestra and the BBC Big Band.
