Alan Clayson’s enthralling performance: A night of Chanson at Medina Bookshop

An entertaining evening in the company of author, songwriter, performer, eccentric and chansonnier Alan Clayson. Doors 7pm, bring your own bottle.

Featuring Alan Clayson and keyboard player Andy Lavery, has been on the road since 2011, initially to tie-in with the most recent edition of Clayson’s Jacques Brel biography, La Vie Boheme.

‘A man possessed’
Media coverage has been fulsome with phrases like ‘mesmerising’, ‘a man possessed’, ‘a wonderful evening by a master raconteur at the top of his game’.

If much of the repertoire is from Brel’s portfolio, Clayson delivers items by other chansonniers, Gallic and English, and ventures into curious but connected realms.

Prefaced by a explanatory talk that is as entertaining as it is educational, this show will appeal to both Brel devotees and those interested generally in Gallic culture.

Where and when
Alan Clayson will be performing at Medina Bookshop, High Street, Cowes on Monday 27th November from 7pm.

Tickets are priced at £10 each, book through the Medina Bookshop website.

Bring your own bottle.
