This is the press description, but it's quite accurate.
Gay Marshall’s vivacious and original take on Edith Piaf is far from the traditional perception of Piaf as a tragic icon. Ms. Marshall delivers the original, dramatic repertoire, including her own English adaptations, with stirring authenticity, and not a hint of imitation. Her choice of songs is an exciting mix of the well known and the rare, accompanied by a superb quintet, including piano, accordion and strings. Ms. Marshall contributes personal anecdotes of her research among Piaf’s associates in Paris, as well as hilarious accounts of living among the French, who take their icons very seriously!
