Girl With The Guitar – Free (Alison Chabloz / Laughing Horse Free Festival)
By Marcus Pibworth | Published on Sunday 21 August 2011
Alison Chabloz, our ‘Girl with the Guitar’, provides a delightful hour of music. She builds a great rapport with the small audience gathered before her as she leads us on a musical journey covering the likes of internet-stalking, getting dumped, the fall of ‘News of the World’ and free-diving. When the staff in the café venue became too noisy, she was quick to jump in and tell them all to zip it, never once losing her composure. Through her songs and asides her personality shines. Her friends might think she’s crazy for her recent decision to quit the rat-race and tour the Festival circuit, but, while it might not have been financially sensible, it certainly seems to be paying off.
Laughing Horse at Café Renroc, 5 – 28 Aug (not 14), 7.20pm (8.20pm), free, fpp206.
