Geneviève Alison Jane Moyet is a wonderful wordsmith. Dark in places, her songs are all very special, they tell stories.
I have loved Alison's voice for many years. Starting with Yazoo in 1982, the 21 year old was the perfect vocalist and writer to balance the synths of Vince Clark. Her solo career started with the release of 'Alf' in 1984, since then she has created a wonderfully rich body of work. 'Other', her latest album was released in 2017 - the story continues!
This live show was fantastic. A hefty mix of classics stood-up well against more recent compositions. The production and design of the show was minimal - with a very atmospheric edge... dramatic lighting and a beautifully balanced sound system helped. Drama and energy in every song... Simply brilliant! The support for our eve was Hannah Peel. This Northern Irish singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, composer and arranger is a fabulous find... Also, look out for her alta-ego Mary Casio!
