Dal Segno
21st June - 8th July
by Joseph Morley
Perelia Productions presents:
DAL SEGNO
Friday Night at the Gig!
Dal Segno: Used as a direction in music to return to the sign that marks the beginning of a repeat.
Set in London in 1979 in the gritty and entertaining world of professional musicians, DAL SEGNO features a disparate group of seven freelance musicians who play in a resident band at a club-venue. It’s Friday night and the club is heaving – but the drama takes place backstage only in the band-room!
Written by Joseph Morley, DAL SEGNO focuses on the personalities and predicaments of these particular men; their fears, anxieties, hopes, thrills and relationships.
Joseph, who trained in both classical and jazz piano, has had a career as a pianist, keyboard player and Music Director in all forms of commercial and popular music. The wealth of personal experience of working in the ‘music biz’ provides the background for Dal Segno. Joseph has worked in concert with artistes including Lulu, Lenny Henry, Des O’Connor and Helen Shapiro plus West End musicals including Blood Brothers, Dirty Dancing, Saturday Night Fever and We Will Rock You.
DAL SEGNO provides an entertaining fly-on-the-wall glimpse inside the ‘behind-the-scenes’ world of the non-classical music profession.
