Vikki Clayton Page  

Vikki has a new website here
We are going to keep the Vikki page here for the forseeable future as its been here a while and it will help to direct people to the new site if they haven't been here for a while. We'll also keep the photo album here as we have different photos from the new site. This page will mostly be about Vikki and her work with Chris Conway.

1. Farewell to Leicester gig at The Musician

This was a very special gig - Chris Conway opened and began weaving songs and stories about Vikki. Vikki then played a solo set carrying on in the same vein choosing songs from periods of her life and telling stories, before Chris joined her in thje second set. A wonderful crowd, a great gig and a wonderful emoptional vibe.
