The Piaf Story

The Piaf Story is an acoustic storytelling performance about the life of Edith Piaf and the songs that shaped her career by singer Susan Black accompanied by pianist Aled Thomas.

From the slums of Belleville, Paris to the top of the Eiffel Tower singing ‘Non je ne regrette rien’ just before she died, Susan Black relates the dramatic story of Edith Piaf.

Susan will share anecdotes about Edith’s lovers, joys and tragedies as she sings ‘Les Chansons Réalistes,’ the songs for which Edith is so remembered, including ‘La Vie en Rose,’ ‘Hymne à l’amour’ and ‘Non je ne regrette rein.’

Accompanied by her pianist Aled Thomas, The Piaf Story is an intimate view into a remarkable woman’s life whose voice enabled her to survive through adversity and still has an impact on us today.
