Marianne Faithfull performs in front of an intimate audience at LSO St Luke's in London.

From LSO St Luke's Marianne Faithfull performs songs from her album Easy Come Easy Go, plus older hits including the original 60s arrangement of As Tears Go By.

1960's It Girl-turned-arthouse singer, Marianne Faithfull, exudes charm in a performance in front of an intimate audience of friends and fans at LSO St Luke's in east London. 

A great band accompany her on an eclectic mix of songs from her critically-acclaimed covers album Easy Come Easy Go, including The Decemberists' The Crane Wife 3, Morrissey's Dear God, Please Help Me, Dolly Parton's Down From Dover and Randy Newman's chilling In Germany Before the War. 

There are also dips into the past, with her first ever live performance of the original 1960s arrangement of As Tears Go By, plus the early Jagger-Richards song Sister Morphine.
