Alasdair Clayre was a British man of many talents: author, broadcaster, singer-songwriter, and academic. He was educated at Oxford University and was a Prize Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford. Clayre took his own life in 1985 by jumping in front of a train.

Clayre's books include The Heart of the Dragon, based on a TV series he produced, wrote, directed and presented about China at a time when the country was just opening up to the West; Nature and Industrialisation; and Work and Play. He also compiled a songbook, 100 Folk Songs and New Songs.

Clayre recorded two albums of songs including many of his own compositions: Alasdair Clayre (Elektra) and Adam and the Beasts (Folkways). He also appears on the Elektra folk song compilation A Cold Wind Blows. His English translation of La Colombe (The Dove) by Jacques Brel has been recorded by Judy Collins and Joan Baez. Another of his compositions, Train Song, has been recorded by Vashti Bunyan.
