Stafford Gatehouse TheatreStafford Gatehouse Theatre
Direct from London’s West End – a thrilling and intriguing night of psychic mediumship!
Boasting a worldwide celebrity client list, Stuart brings his quick-witted humour, sensitivity, and
compassion to the stage.
Connecting with the spirit world, messages from loved ones who have passed on are brought
forward with comfort and empathy.
The production is investigational and for the purposes of entertainment
PIAF is not a tribute show. It is an award winning, poignant, funny performance about a Glasgow girl who hated French at school and then was given a record of Edith Piaf.
The rest is history – taking Christine from the classroom, to a French degree, to a high school teaching career and finally an award winning performer who has toured the show all over the world.
The evening centres around Christine telling these extraordinary stories of her life with Edith Piaf, interspersed with Piaf’s greatest songs – in French and English.
She was featured on BBC Radio 4’s Soul Music, discussing her life with Piaf, as well as countless TV (live on Newsnight) and radio performances. She has performed many times on BBC Northern Ireland, and on Marty Whelan’s RTE show.
Charles Dumont, Piaf’s great friend and composer of Non, Je ne Regrette Rien, made the journey from Paris to join Christine on stage at the Edinburgh Festival. (Validation for Christine’s performance doesn’t come any higher than this……..)
She has toured throughout the world, with musical residencies in France and Berlin. She has also performed in South Korea and recently had a concert in South America.

Join us for an afternoon with Susie Dent to explore the joys of the English language with ‘Britain’s best-loved wordsmith’.
Following on from her hit show ‘The Secret Life of Words’, Susie Dent is back with a brand-new collection of facts and stories from the wonderful world of words. Have you ever wondered whether there’s a word for going to the fridge for the umpteenth time in search of something new?
Or puzzled over the reason why a group of crows is called a ‘murder’, while owls form a ‘parliament’? Is teen slang actually designed to make us tear our hair out? And just how many words do we need for being drunk?
With the help of funny, insightful, and head-scratching examples, Susie will entertain and educate us with her pick of language’s greatest hits. Word Perfect will remind us just how unpredictable, wayward, and utterly magical our mother tongue can be.
