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.

I like to explore different styles which might go towards country or retro pop, 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. Blues guitarist Mick Clarke 72nd birthday - a beach in Sussex, England

Very sad to learn (belatedly) 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'. Click here for my tribute to Dave.. R.I.P. to a great musician.

My music is available all over the world, but sadly I have to support major distributors Spotify and others in withdrawing their services from Russia as part of international sanctions until the whole of Ukraine is free once again. Apple - why am I being streamed in Moscow? Please sort yourselves out.

And finally - just to avoid confusion. There are, naturally enough, other Mick Clarkes out there - notably Mick Clarke of the Rubettes and Mick Clarke, guitarist with Long John Baldry, who has the dot.Net website.

So please be sure of whom you're listening to, particularly on Youtube and Facebook. Generally the best source of info is right here on mickclarke.com. Do check in regularly!
