About Vivant

img img

Vivant are a violin and melodeon duo formed by Mark Prescott and Clive Williams. Together they have developed their own style that is of a slower pace with interwoven harmonies and beautiful arrangements.

Mark and Clive met in Stony Stratford at the regular Sunday lunchtime music session in 1996 and play together as Vivant. They have put their own interpretation to some well known, some not so well known, and some classic material as well as some original work. Their music fuses a variety of influences and gives a beautiful and timeless quality which remains with you long after you have finished listening.

Swirling waltzes and mazurkas of Central France sweep you off you feet with their charm then the touching yet simple melodies of English songs and hymns transport you to another time and place.

Mark and Clive have been warmly received everywhere they have played from French music festivals in Central France to visitors and regulars in the local pubs in Stony Stratford.

Some comments received:

  • "Beautiful and soul touching"
  • "Hypnotic rhythms and lovely melodies"
  • "Absolutely charming and restful... calming me down as I sit at my bloody desk! (sic) Quote Me" - the legendary guitarist John Etheridge
