Lou Blackwell and the French Set
About This Event
Lou Blackwell brings her A French Romance — a five-piece tribute to Trenet, Brassens, Brel and Aznavour — to Dunstan Playhouse for one Adelaide Cabaret Festival night.
A supreme musical tribute to the artists and music of the Great French Songbook!
Lou Blackwell once lived and sang in Parisian jazz clubs and little bars, and is bringing her passion for the great cultural city of Paris to life in a celebration of French song.
Backed by her stunning five-piece band (led by musical director and arranger, Mark Simeon Ferguson), Blackwell evokes the legendary Parisian cabaret rooms and concert halls, drawing from the works of Trenet, Brassens, Brel, Aznavour and more.
Take a magical, musical and mesmerising trip to Paris from your seat in the Dunstan Playhouse. To paraphrase Piaf, vous ne regretterez rien!
