Clayson Sings Chanson

About the show

Alan 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.
