Anthony John Clarke: Described by Fairport Convention as “a national treasure”, AJ has been an integral part of the UK music scene for thirty years. Originally from Belfast, AJ emerged there with his songs ‘The Broken Years’ and ‘The Only Life Gloria Knows’, but now presents as one of the most humorous and entertaining acts around. Audiences cannot resist the musical invitations to sing, from this true gentleman of the music world.
Expect a degree of sentiment, but also songs covering topics from “The Man From Uncle” to car boot sales, Presidents, karaoke nights, nuns, grandchildren and how to avoid them (he has at least five), camping, bigots, and hitchhiking. He is perhaps the funniest at serious songs and the most serious about funny songs.
On this occasion, AJ will be aided and abetted by the equally charming and witty Julia Porter.
“a lyrical feast with just a dash of Viking” – Folk and Honey.
