A 90-minute talk by Monika Lind on the life and music of French singer Edith Piaf, part of the Museum & Art Gallery's 'Talks Revisited' series.
Monika Lind brings a talk on Édith Piaf to the Museum & Art Gallery in Worthing on Thursday 25 February 2027, starting at 6:30pm. It's part of the museum's Talks Revisited series, and it runs for 90 minutes.
If you're not familiar with the name, Piaf was the French singer known as 'The Little Sparrow', and she rose from an impoverished and turbulent childhood to become one of France's most celebrated performers. She started out singing on the streets as a teenager before finding international fame with classics like Non, je ne regrette rien, La Vie en Rose and Hymne à l'amour. The talk traces her life from those early days through to her time on the world stage.
Her music drew on deeply personal experiences of love, heartbreak, loss and resilience, and her life followed a similarly stark arc—marked by tragedy, addiction and ill health. Lind's talk looks at both the public figure and the private struggles that shaped her.
