French Salon: Lisette chez Maxim

Lisette chez Maxim

Thoroughly enjoyed Cat's performance as Lisette last night at Maxim's bar in Norwood, Adelaide. Her repertoire included the traditional favourites of French cabaret. There was Piaf, Brel etc. Cat delivered the songs in her rich, sultry voice. Her interaction with the audience was lots of fun as we laughed at the difficulties of conjugating French verbs.  It was only a shame that more francophiles were unable to make it.

A number of people have asked me for more information about French Salons in Adelaide.  My understanding, having spoken to one of the organisers, is it has come about from a group of francophiles who would gather together at friends' places to converse in French.  From there it has taken off to be a regular get together at Maxim's on the third Thursday of the month.  Next year the plan is to have a theme for the evening with speakers etc.  A programme will be developed for the year.  With their permission, I will post details of the programme once it has been developed.

Apologies for the poor quality photo!!! It was the best I could manage....
