Haunting instrumental music played by Mark Prescott on violin and Clive Williams on melodeon. We play acoustic traditional (mostly) music for listening or french traditional couple dancing. We do bookings in England and France - ours is thoughtful, intricate music, with a late night feel.
Why this name?
Vivant, or 'alive' in French - also from Stephane Delicq's Vivre, which we play and enjoy.
Do you play live?
We play live in England and France - we have played at Gennetines traditional dance festival in France... playing through the night for couple dancing. Magic.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Getting music out to a wider audience has to be special.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Make us an offer :-)
Your influences?
Clive's greatly influenced by people such as Chris Wood, including his work with Andy Cutting, although our music has a more consistent late night mood to it. John Kirkpatrick, Tony Hall and many great diatonic accordion players from France including Marc Perrone, Yann Fanch Perroches, and indeed, Stephane Delicq. Mark's classically trained, and can play just about any style, bless him.
Favorite spot?
Um, centre France probably.
Anything else...?
