Café Boheme is a love story about an Irish girl singing in a little cafe in Soho, London, wrapped up in a coffee-scented ribbon of French and Italian Café Music, Bossa nova and original café music.

Evoked through the blue smoke, red wine, coffee and French beer of Café Boheme, this intimate evening offers an assortment of dreams, although Soho's seedier side of peep shows, pimps and private dancers is never far away ... '

With Derby Browne, accompanied by Drazen Derek on guitar and Isabelle Ni Chuirean on accordion.

Since 2005, Derby has written three shows, namely, Café Boheme (based on her experiences singing in Soho), Boulevard Belleville -- a story of romance in Paris and the Italian La Dolce Roma -- a holiday romance set in Rome, debuted this year at The National Concert Hall, Dublin.

Admission: €20/€17.
