Born in Egypt in 1922, Eglal Farhi founded New Morning in 1981. In 2010, Catherine Farhi took over from her mother as the club's director. Eglal died on September 25, 2019, in Neuilly-sur-Seine.
"Madame Farhi passed away a few years ago at the age of 97 and came to many of my shows when she was well into her 90’s," the longtime expatriate American guitarist Elliott Murphy wrote in 2021. "She was a classy, generous and elegant lady – they don’t make them like that anymore."
