More information about Five and Dime - The Songs of Nanci Griffith tickets
Nanci Griffith was a celebrated American singer-songwriter known for her literate, emotionally complex songs, with popular tracks including "Love at the Five and Dime," "From a Distance," "The Speed of the Sound of Loneliness," and "Once in a Very Blue Moon".
Consummate guitarist, mandolin player and song-writer in his own right, Clive Gregson toured as part of the 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.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 are planning to take their personal take on these classics on the road in 2026.
