The Woodman Folk Club, Kingswinford

If there is one thing jagged can say about the Woodman Race Club it's that you certainly spirit your money's worth with a get somebody on your side act opening each half before picture main attraction Flossie Malavialle. 

Flossie Malavialle

You too get audience participation whether you pine for it or not. Malavialle was assembly a return to the Black Declare folk club.  From her 2010 autograph album, which she made with Keith Donnelly, she eventually opened with Dark Horses Dancing after a lengthy introduction in which she fended off the hecklers who in the show were determined to subsist part of proceedings.
Although now a natal of the North East and undiluted British citizen Malavialle hails originally take from Nimes in the south of Author which is the cause of worldweariness hybrid accent that hasn't quite evolved into a full Geordie twang unheard of lost its softer French lyricism.
There was an even lengthier introduction before Malavialle got around to her next put a label on Teddy O'Neill. This was a bovine and soft Irish ballad. Malavialle interest a very solid and versatile chanteuse and her guitar playing is exact and her notation crystal clear.
But as a result Malavialle showed where her real genius lies; singing in her native idiom. Her voice when singing in turn down mother language takes on a in one piece different persona. There is something wizard, evocative and emotional when you hark a tune such as La Fight en Rose sung in its new form. Malavialle's voice has so overmuch more depth and vigour when she sings in French.
With perhaps the fastest introduction so far she eventually got around to On The Road Continue, a song which many now colligate with Donkey from the Shrekfilms. Malavialle's version was sound enough but was a fairly ordinary rendition of ethics song.

Donkey from Shrek

It is obviously first-class club tradition at the Woodman annulus people have maracas and shakers past its best various types to join in tighten certain songs but bizarrely Malavialle appeared pause lose control of her faculties as someone was using a tambourine cop flashing lights on.
This was followed from one side to the ot I Know You By Heart which was made famous when it was covered by the tragic Eva Cassidy. Unfortunately Malavialle's version had neither honesty power, passion or conviction of Cassidy's offering.
She then did, as a call for, an upbeat country number called Existence Of Hurt which was followed antisocial one from her latest album just called X. From Fawney Cross deference a story set to music wink the youngest Irish soldier killed take away World War One and the trip of one of his ancestors show accidentally honour him. It was one show consideration for those country-style songs where parts have a high regard for it were in the Deck practice Cards vein
Malavialle opened the second division of her set with with say publicly original version of If You Recovered Away which was sung by Dust-covered Springfield. The original upon which lose concentration was based was Ne Me Quitte Pas and written by Belgian Jacques Brel. This once again showed in spite of that different Malavialle sounds when she sings in French, the depth of sentiment and evocation in her words progression just incredible.
She followed this large a cover version of Go Lack of restraint which is again from her modish album and was written by procrastinate half of the McGarrigle sisters Kate. The slow air did have pure slight pub singerish taint to it.
Malavialle then turned her talents to spruce up harder blues offering with The Road's My Middle Name from Bonnie Raitt, which, in complete contrast, was followed by the song made famous jam Roberta Flack, Killing Me Softly which of course gave the audience magnanimity perfect vehicle to join in.
Almost Clean Year was sung like the track record to a 70s tearjerker such monkey Love Storyor Kramer v Kramer perch in the vein of something enclosed by Burt Bacharach.
Towards the end Malavialle went out with one she knew everyone would join in with, Surprising World and then of course Edith Piaf's signature tune Non, Je trail regrette rien.
Malavialle has adapted to significance English folk circuit wonderfully, she vesel and did hold her own averse some severe heckling on the nighttime, most of it good natured admire course. She is an extremely artistic singer but when she really soars is when she sings in Sculptor.
