ALAN Clayson, who was leader of the band Clayson and the Argonauts, will be performing in Denbigh next month.

Clayson will bring “Clayson Sings Chanson” to Theatr Twm o'r Nant on Saturday, October 26 at 7.30pm.

More information can be found on his website at: www.alanclayson.com.

Clayson ssaid: “Clayson Sings Chanson has been on the road since the beginning of 2011, to tie-in with the most recent edition of my Jacques Brel biography, La Vie Bohème.

“As well as works by Jacques Brel, Charles Aznavour, Scott Walker and other chansonniers, Gallic and English, we (me 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 I used to do with my group Clayson and the Argonauts, but hadn't unveiled in public for a quarter of a century.

“(It is) 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.”
