WINE, WOMAN & SONG!


(Left: Cat Simoni)

Westville-raised international artist Cat Simoni returns to Rhumbelow Theatre Durban with a new cabaret show inspired by her recent tour to Europe's jazz festivals and clubs;

Titled Wine, Woman & Song!, it is her personal salute to her favourite wine-drenched composers and artists.

From a tipsy Johann Strauss' title song spiced with Simoni’s own teasing lyrics, Marianne Faithfull's timeless Ballad of Lucy Jordan and Janis Joplin's classic Mercedes Benz, she takes her audience on a full-throttle cabaret ride in vino veritas to the beat of an intoxicating array of hits from The Rolling Stones, Rod Stewart, Chrissie Hynde, Chris de Burgh, Cher, Piaf, Melina Mercouri, Shania Twain, Queen, The Pogues, Jaques Brel, Billy Joel, Joan Jett, Etta James, Adele and Amy Winehouse.

Wine, Woman & Song! is devised and directed by Paul Spence
