Well, the weather is getting hotter, and the summer season is getting underway. One of the most welcome bits of news, amidst various cool events that will be going on during the summer months, is the announcement that Marianne Faithfull will be playing a concert in Rimini in July!
Faithfull is one of those peculiar artists (songwriter and actress in this case) who produces better work the older she gets. Going from a sixties starlet, perhaps unfairly better known for being Mick Jagger's muse rather than for singing 'as tears go by', Faithfull has in the last decade produced some serious albums and films.
Last year Faithfull was diagnosed with the early stages of breast cancer. Thankfully after surgery and treatment she appears to be well again.
She'll be playing a concert in the wonderfully atmospheric Corte degli Agostiniani on the 16th of July.
