Newcastle Food Month

Bookings open soon, so save the dates!

This fresh Australian production invites you on an enthralling journey through the lives of Edith Piaf & Charles Aznavour, icons of French “Chanson” revered globally and the most celebrated representatives of French popular music worldwide.
The show spotlights the song that captivated the world during the opening ceremony of The Paris Olympics. “Hymne à l’amour,” the Piaf anthem rendered by Celine Dion. The song is performed in the show by Corinne Andrew, one of Australia’s finest Piaf interpreters.
A blend of theatre, biography, and cabaret, PIAF AND AZNAVOUR stands as the world’s unparalleled show of its genre. The performers are: Corinne Andrew as Piaf, Milko Foucault-Larché as Aznavour, piano, Jason Ivory and bass, Howard Ward.

Love That Hat is the ultimate entertainment outfit, famous for their jaw dropping interpretations of classics by Queen, Kate Bush, Electric Light Orchestra and moving acoustic arrangements of gems by Crowded House, Fleetwood Mac, Sting and more.
Love That Hat first appeared back in 1995 and have been performing and dazzling audiences ever since with a charming blend of exceptional musicianship, an eclectic repertoire and cheeky humour. Affectionately known as “The Hat”, this unique trio showcases Sue Carson, Dave Carter and Michael Stove – three stalwarts of the Australian music industry with a combined 135 years’ experience in live performance, touring, recording, and song writing. Amongst them, they play guitar, mandolin, violin, bass, bagpipes and banjo. All members are also music educators. Sue is currently Newcastle Conservatorium Coordinator and lecturer in music at the University of Newcastle. Dave and Michael both work part time for TAFE NSW in music industry courses.
