Hi -

Just a few notes to keep you updated. Regular new releases through January and onwards. A new compilation album 'Bad Whisky Blues' is due out on January 17th.

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 when it comes down to it 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 recent album 'Dirty Work' reached No. 2 on the RMR UK album chart as well as featuring on the British IBBA chart, and selling well.

So 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 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.

And on a happier note, here's Dangerous Dave sporting a fashionable new Gnasher tattoo.. all the rage on the blues circuit I'm told. Rock on Dave..
