Hi -

A brief word about Jeff Beck. I was fortunate enough to see him with the Yardbirds, and also with the Jeff Beck Group, from some of their earliest London shows. I'll never forget the first Marquee gig with Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood on second guitar (before later switching to bass). What a gig. What rock blues. What dynamic blinding guitar talent. What rock'n'roll swagger. Unforgettable. I would always quote Clapton, Green and Beck as being the main influences that shaped my playing, before later being exposed to Freddie, BB and the other greats.

Did Jeff Beck invent blues rock guitar? If not him then I don't know who. So a great loss but incredible memories, and the music lives on.
R.I.P. Jeff.

Meanwhile I'm currently enjoying making new music here at Fabulous Rockfold Studio, deep in the Surrey Badlands. Regular new releases - a brand new 6 track blues EP is released on Friday 13th, following four singles - all different genres. Yes it's a bit mad. But I have to keep busy.

Also happy to announce that the latest 3 album CD compilation from BGO Records is now available - You can buy direct from BGO at the link above.

So .. let's hope for a peaceful New Year and some great music in 2023. More news to follow. Blues guitarist Mick Clarke 72nd birthday - a beach in Sussex, England

Our music is available all over the world, but sadly I have to support major distributors Spotify, Apple and others in withdrawing their services from Russia as part of international sanctions until Ukraine is a free country once again. Spotify are great - Apple - why I am still being streamed in Moscow?!! So for any Russians who might be reading this - you're a great nation, but tell your boss to get the Hell out of Ukraine!

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.

I release my music exclusively online these days, so my online identity is important to me. But there seems to be more and more confusion, particularly on Youtube and Facebook, so please be sure of whom you're listening to, or reading posts of. In fact I rarely post on Facebook other than to announce the latest recording or gig.. (not to pass judgement on matters of the day). I have two Facebook accounts in my name - the official artist one and my private one which shows a tranquil field of maize on a Summer's day. Any other Facebook Mick Clarkes are NOT ME!!! OK.. public service announcement / rant over. More importantly - enjoy the music!
