SUMMARY:Clayson Sings Chanson
DESCRIPTION:Tickets £13 / £12 concessions.Doors open 7.30pm\, starts 8pm.This gig is for a seated audience. \nAlan Clayson\, chanteur and raconteur\, explores the most mature and cultivated form of popular song – in which there is as much emphasis on words and their literary resonance as melody and chord structure – throughout a thoroughly diverting soirée centred on passion\, humour\, deep emotion and sometimes casually shocking frankness\, embracing love\, liberty\, tenderness\, parting\, death\, abandonment\, stupidity and further qualities of the human condition. \nCLAYSON SINGS CHANSON has been on the road since 2011\, initially to tie-in with the publication of Alan Clayson’s Jacques Brel biography\, La Vie Bohéme though the presentation’s origins lie too in 1999’s acclaimed Ne Me Quitte Pas: A Celebration Of Jacques Brel\, an all-star album on which Clayson’s contributions were highlights. \nWith accompaniment and a supporting programme from songwriter and vocalist Andy Lavery\, the show is prefaced by an explanatory talk that is as entertaining as it is educational. As well as works\, famous and obscure by chansonniers\, Gallic and British\, Clayson ventures into curious but connected realms in a show which will appeal to both chanson devotees\, those interested generally in Gallic culture and anyone who wants to be merely entertained by music that has burned its brand on English-speaking wordsmiths as disparate as Anthony Newley\, Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols – yes really! – and the foremost mouthpiece of Brel’s output Scott Walker. \nhttps://alanclayson.com/
