Madames et messieurs, get ready to Yé-Yé, Yeah! this Bastille Day at the Ellington Jazz Club. Following a successful premiere at Fringe World 2024, Sylvia Cornes (ou Sylvie) returns with her dazzling 8-piece band for a night of sexy, swinging sounds from the golden era of 1960s French pop.
Featuring irresistible hits made famous by Serge Gainsbourg, Gillian Hills, Sylvie Vartan, Françoise Hardy and Jacques Dutronc, alongside timeless classic chanson favourites, this vibrant celebration captures the effortless cool and playful spirit of the yé-yé movement.
With an electrifying full band complete with horns, special guest appearances, and enough rhythm to keep you twisting and shouting all night long, Yé-Yé, Yeah! is a Bastille Day party not to be missed.
‘This show beautifully captures a musical style that we rarely have the opportunity to hear live, this is a perfect vehicle for Cornes, whose voice suits this style so well. A must see for Francophiles and for anyone chasing something a little bit different’ Stage Whispers, 2024
