About this show

Shirley went from living in the poverty of 1930s Tiger Bay, Cardiff, to becoming a glitzy international superstar – and a dame – living in the luxury of Monaco. On that incredible journey she performed classic songs including Goldfinger, Big Spender and Diamonds Are Forever. To hear about this remarkable rags to riches life, join talented vocalist and storyteller, Sally McGreevy in her 11th Fringe year with her superb trio of musicians as they pay homage to the life of Dame Shirley Bassey.
