SUMMARY:CLAYSON SINGS CHANSON
DESCRIPTION:CLAYSON SINGS CHANSON has been on the road since the beginning of 2011 to tie-in with the most recent edition of Alan Clayson’s  Jacques Brel biography\, La Vie Bohème – and it will be coming to Guggleton Farm Arts\, Station Road\, Stalbridge\, Dorset DT10 2RQ on Saturday 18th of May.  \nAs well as works by Jacques Brel\, Charles Aznavour\, Scott Walker and other chansonniers\, Gallic and English\, singer Alan Clayson and keyboard player Andy Lavery – venture into curious but connected realms\, ranging from an arrangement of French symbolist poet Paul Verlaine’s ‘Un Grand Sommeil Noir’ to Dave Dee\, Dozy\, Beaky\, Mick and Tich’s ‘Last Night In Soho’ – sung absolutely straight – and\, by contrast\, ‘Sweeney Todd The Barber’ – which Alan used to do with his group Clayson and the Argonauts\, but hadn’t unveiled in public for a quarter of a century.  Prefaced by an explanatory talk that is as entertaining as it is educational this show will appeal to both chanson devotees\, those interested generally in Gallic culture and folk merely seeking fun.
