Martha Wainwright will be bringing her acclaimed 'Martha Wainwright Signs Edith Piaf’ live show to the UK this July.
The show received its London debut at the Barbican in November of last year, and Martha will now take her performances of a rare selection of the French icon’s songs to Brighton and Gateshead.
Martha will also be playing a number of solo shows, singing her own material, appearing as special guest to Paulo Nutini at his Eden Sessions gigs at Cornwall’s Eden Centre.
The Larmer Tree Festival will close with a headline set from Martha and in August she will be appearing at the Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre for another headline show.
In addition, Martha will be appearing alongside her brother Rufus in a tribute to their late mother, the folk singer Kate McGarrigle.
A Celebration of Kate McGarrigle takes place on June 12th at the Royal Festival Hall as part of the Richard Thompson curated Meltdown event.
