Hi -

Just a few notes to keep you updated. The new album 'Mozelle' was released Friday 11th April. Already getting lots of airplay and featuring on the RMR airplay charts - many thanks to everyone. More to follow.

Also getting lots of advance airplay on my single 'Banker's Blues' - Big Bill Broonzy's version with a nod to Rory Gallagher. 'Banker's Blues' is released Friday 6th June.

I see that another great artist has left us - singer Chris Youlden passed away on, I think, April 3rd. I always remember seeing Chris fronting Savoy Brown on their return from their first American tour - Chris always charismatic in his fur coat and top hat. And a great singer.

And I have many memories of him propping up the bar at the 100 Club in London, along with his friend Shakey Vick! R.I.P. Chris.

Other news.. I just had a new podcast released..(see Vinyl Relic link). This was a phone interview I did last year with 'Farmer John' over in Canada. We had an enjoyable chat and went through the first Killing Floor album track by track.

It was interesting, and I must say I think the album comes across well on the podcast. I'm happy and proud that we played our part, however small, in the great 60s blues boom which threw up bands such as Free and Led Zeppelin.

So 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.

I record all kinds of stuff, but my 'official' albums are usually more focussed in a blues rock direction. And with some success - great to see that the new album 'Mozelle' reached No.1 on the RMR UK Chart and is 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..
