From the organizer:
Come and enjoy an evening of live music from British songwriter Claire Cameron. Celebrate the release of her new single which she spent two years writing here in Saigon and recorded in the UK with Claire Cameron Band.
‘Moving to Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City), Vietnam in 2013 was one of the most exciting and challenging things I have ever done. This song is for the city that initially overwhelmed me and now has become the place I love to live.’
Claire started composing ‘Song for Saigon’ just a couple of months after arriving in the city, as soon as her Roland FP2 electric piano arrived by sea. The idea for the song began with a punchy piano line, mimicking the rhythms she heard from the confines of a fourth floor apartment in District 1.
