 What Remained of Fairuz?
He was searching the Fairuz heritage and rereading it, which was apparent from the choice of songs and their order throughout the show; he arranged them according to a specific dramatic logic.
Ziad chose much of the traditional “Fairuz Repertoire” of the Rahbani brothers with its excitement and vibrance, but left the lion's share of the program for his own musical compositions.

Fairuz is named in tribute to Lebanon's most famous chanteuse -- a sweet, dotty idea that, if copied, could lead to Cliff Richards the chippie or Madonna the burger bar.
One of London's more relaxed and intimate Lebanese restaurants, Fairuz still observes all the traditions: white tablecloths, formal service, the instant appearance of olives and chilled salad veg upon arrival.
What we've always liked about Fairuz is the way it ditches the starchy formalism traditionally affected by most Lebanese restaurants and lightens up with a kind of feel-good Mediterranean aesthetic: walls of lemon yellow and beach-hut blue, fold-back screen frontage with pavement seating and breezy, chatty staff.
