Alive and Brel

The finest songs from the master of the modern chanson, Jacques Brel, come to life when this trio of singers perform their revue, ‘Alive and Brel’. Brel’s music, famed for its emotional power and ironic wit, has been recorded by international stars ranging from Frank Sinatra and Dusty Springfield to David Bowie and Marc Almond. The show features iconic hits such as If You Go Away/Ne me quitte pas, Jacky and Amsterdam.  These songs, which are laced with dark and passionate observations and paint a tableau of imperfect humanity, will be presented in the intimate setting of the Coach House Theatre. Singers Tim Brown, Alison Allan and Steve Allan have been praised by Stagetalk Magazine as ‘a surprise package, where the blending of the voices was particularly pleasing and gave the performance originality’ and the Hereford Times said their recent show at the Three Choirs Festival  was ‘altogether a charming way to end the evening’. Accompanied by Jon Weller on piano and Esther Kay on flute, Alive and Brel is guaranteed to raise a smile or bring a tear to the eye.
