The Hayes Sisters & Clive Gregson Present Love at the Five and Dime

Consummate guitarist, mandolin player and song-writer in his own right, Clive Gregson toured as part of Nanci Griffith's Blue Moon Orchestra from 1996-2007. Nanci's version of Clive's "I Love This Town" was released as a single in 2006 and became a radio hit in both America and the UK.Clive's musical bio is too long to mention here, but includes the cult band Any Trouble, a spell with Richard Thompson's band and as half of the acclaimed duo Gregson and Collister. He has appeared at the Canopy Theatre 3 times before - twice as a solo artist and once in a duo with Liz Simcock, recreating the Gregson & Collister songbook and performing new duets written specially for the tour.The Stockport based sisters, Angela and Cathryn Hayes, have their own distinct style with sounds suggestive of The Roches and the McGarrigles. They have been long-time Nanci Griffith fans and their vocal interpretations of her songs are spot-on.
Clive got to know the Hayes Sisters whilst producing their debut album "Another Man's Shoes". A mutual admiration for Nanci's great catalogue of songs sparked the idea of this collaboration and the trio began to take their personal slant on these classics on the road in April 2026. It has been so successful that two further tours have already been booked.Audience comments after the first show in April 2026:"A wonderful surprise! I came for Clive Gregson only to find two angels and Clive singing the songs of the brilliant Nanci Griffith. A joyous evening""Well done... pitched just right... and thoroughly enjoyed.""Oh my goodness, that was such a lovely evening. The whole thing really worked. Everybody's voices and instruments went so well together. Just lovely. Thank you very much.""Just wanted to say you guys were brilliant last night. There was such an honest 'gentle touch' about the whole performance that really held everyone's attention.""I'm still buzzing from last night's show. I absolutely loved it, as did everyone else. The love you have for the material shines through in the joyous delivery of the songs. Congratulations on a brilliant project." -John Manel, Folk at the Corner HouseFor more information, music and video visit https://www.jacey-bedford.com/Nanci%20Show.htmlTickets can also ve purchased from the Ticketsource telephone box office on 0333 666 3366
