Marianne Evelyn Gabriel Faithfull is born 29 December 1946, she is an English singer, songwriter

and actress. She achieved popularity in the 1960s with the release of her hit single "As Tears Go By"
and became one of the lead female artists during the British Invasion in the United States.
Born in Hampstead, London, Faithfull began her career in 1964 after attending a Rolling Stones party
where she was discovered by Andrew Loog Oldham. After the release of her hit single "As Tears Go
By", she became an international star. Her debut album Marianne Faithfull (1965) (released
simultaneously with her album Come My Way) was a commercial success followed by a number of
albums on Decca Records. From 1966 to 1970, she had a highly publicised romantic relationship
with Mick Jagger. Her popularity was further enhanced by her film roles, such as I'll Never Forget
What's'isname (1967), The Girl on a Motorcycle(1968), and Hamlet (1969). However, her popularity
was overshadowed by personal problems in the 1970s. During that time she
was anorexic, alcoholic and a heroin addict.
It is astonishing to consider the fact that Marianne is celebrating over 50 years in music. Five decades
on from that fateful 1964 party in London where she was spotted, at the age of 16, by The Rolling
Stones’ manager Andrew Loog Oldham Marianne has proved utterly fearless in her music and
everything else besides and remains a unique and compelling musical figure: adventurous in her life,
and adventurous in her art producing a wide and varied catalogue of albums over a fifty-year career.

Marianne's half century as an artist, was marked with the release of No Exit a ‘best of’ live collection
from her acclaimed performances in Europe in 2014, recorded during her 50th anniversary tour. The
live album appears hand in hand with the release of the 2014 Budapest concert DVD and 4 highlight
songs from her 2016 performance at the Roundhouse in London when she performed ‘in the round’
with her band - Ed Harcourt, Rob Ellis and Rob McVey. Marianne promoted the release with a short
European tour culminating at the famous Bataclan in Paris, where Marianne helped re-launch the
venue in its first season of concerts after the horrific terror attack of 2015.
Faithfull: A Career OverviewMarianne Faithfull’s long and distinguished career has seen her emerge
as one of the most original female singer-songwriters this country has produced; Utterly
unsentimental yet somehow affectionate, Marianne possesses that rare ability to transform any lyric
into something compelling and utterly personal; and not just on her own songs, for she has become a
master of the art of finding herself in the words and music of others.
Noted for her distinctive voice, Faithfull's previously melodic and higher registered vocals (which
were prevalent throughout her career in the 1960s) were affected by severe laryngitis, coupled with
persistent drug abuse during the 1970s, permanently altering her voice, leaving it raspy, cracked and
lower in pitch. This new sound was praised as "whisky soaked" by some critics for helping capture the
raw emotions expressed in her music.
After a long commercial absence, Faithfull made a comeback with the 1979 release of her critically
acclaimed album Broken English. The album was a commercial success and marked a resurgence of
her musical career. Broken English earned Faithfull a nomination for Grammy Award for Best Female
Rock Vocal Performance and is often regarded as her "definitive recording." She followed with a
series of albums, including Dangerous Acquaintances (1981), A Child's Adventure (1983), and Strange
Weather (1987). Faithfull also wrote three books about her life: Faithfull: An
Autobiography (1994), Memories, Dreams & Reflections (2007), and Marianne Faithfull: A Life on
Record (2014).
Faithfull is listed on VH1's "100 Greatest Women of Rock and Roll" list. She received the World
Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2009 Women's World Awardsand was made a Commandeur of
the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the government of France.

Charles Dickens is perhaps as famous today as he was in his lifetime, the author of 15 novels,
five novellas, and countless stories and essays, he also generously promoted the careers of other
novelists in his weekly journals, and concerned himself with social issues. He excelled in writing
about London settings and grotesque and comic characters.

He was born in Portsmouth on 7 February 1812, son of John Dickens, a feckless and improvident
navy clerk with a great love for literature, and his wife Elizabeth: Charles drew an ironically
affectionate portrait of them in Mr and Mrs Micawber (David Copperfield). A happy childhood in
Chatham, during which he read voraciously, ended with a move to London in 1822. Family
poverty meant the young Charles had to earn money, and he spent a humiliating year labelling
bottles in a blacking factory; during this period, his father was imprisoned for debt. Both
experiences informed later novels.

After leaving school, he became a parliamentary journalist and sketch-writer. He first won fame
in 1836 with the antics of the cockney sportsmen portrayed in The Pickwick Papers, which was
issued in 20 monthly parts. In the same year he married Catherine Hogarth, daughter of Evening
Chronicle editor, George Hogarth; they had 10 children.

Next, written in monthly instalments with prodigious speed, came Oliver Twist (1838) and the
semi-comedic Nicholas Nickleby (1839). Dickens soon graduated to writing the complex and
resonant masterpieces that have ensured his enduring fame, including David
Copperfield(1850), Bleak House (1853), Great Expectations (1861) and Our Mutual
Friend (1865).

An enthusiast for the theatre, he enjoyed performing his own works, and twice toured America
lecturing. After the collapse of his marriage in 1858, he continued his liaison with the actress
Nelly Ternan. He died of a stroke in 1870, leaving The Mystery of Edwin Drood unfinished.
