Mick Clarke - British Blues Rock Guitar (original) (raw)

Hi -

Regular new releases through to the end of the year. Here's a little background on who I am and what I do..

From 1968 I was a full time on the road blues rockin' guitar player with Killing Floor and then SALT, and then from the mid 80s led my own band, touring all over Europe, the US and beyond. These days I mainly enjoy making music in my own small recording studio here on the Surrey / Sussex border and releasing it online.

Unencumbered by record company, management or even other musicians, I just go where my muse takes me and feel free to experiment, exploring different styles.

But fundamentally I'm a blues guitar player, and I try to give my 'official' albums a more focussed blues / rock direction.

And with some success - the current album 'Dirty Work' has reached No. 2 on the RMR UK album chart as well as featuring on the British IBBA chart, and selling well.

Lots of music in the pipeline including regular new single releases... More news to follow.

Very sad to learn of the death of keyboard player Dave Lennox - a friend, colleague and a fine player, who featured in the Mick Clarke Band on many of our shows and tours, and also on two albums - 'Solid Ground' and 'Live in Luxembourg'.
