Title: Vikki Clayton tour dates
Post by: davidmjs on April 24, 2026, 12:37:56 PM
I have some vague recollection of this being mentioned, but I couldn't find it anywhere...so thought it warranted a thread on its own.

Vicki Clayton UK dates 2026-27 (Note:  There are THREE pages of dates):

Its been years since I've seen Vicky, it was at DeMontford Hall at Oysterbands Big Session, so looking forward to seeing her at Cromer Pier festival.

As I understand it Vikki has moved back to Uk from New Zealand.

Apols for getting the spelling wrong in the subject header - can someone correct, please?

Tempted with the Hay-on-Wye gig.

Last time I saw her in concert was back in the Nineties at Nettlebed, in a  trio. It was all a bit too jazz for me that night so I would hope for something a bit folkier this time round.

I've just looked at the dates, as well as the picture above. What's all this 'Folk Diva' business?

Indeed, I think that could have been worded better...

Seems to be how she markets herself.  Don't quite know why. Maybe it was a description someone gave her once?  But given the double meaning of 'diva', it may not be the best one (maybe it doesn't have the pejorative meaning in Australia?).
