3: Brand new album, "One, Two, Three, Go!". Scheduled for September release. All new material as previewed at many recent live shows.
4: Third download only album, "Anorak". Scheduled for December release. Previously unreleased material recorded for shelved fan club only album in 1998.
Prior to returning home to the USA, Clive spent a week in a studio in Bournemouth, producing more tracks for the upcoming Lou Brown album. The sessions went exceptionally well... here's a link to Lou's blog and some pics from the sessions.
Well.... the long autumn tour wound up a couple of nights ago. The general concensus is that it was another successful outing for Clive. The mixture of solo gigs in small venues, opening slots for Jools Holland in larger venues (including the Royal Albert Hall) and duo shows with Patsy Matheson have been received very well. Hopefully Clive will have managed to convert a few Jools Holland fans to his cause! More touring next year....
Clive has contributed a live solo version of "Northern Soul" to a CD just released to help raise funds for The Trades Club in Hebden Bridge. The CD features 18 songs from some of the top acts in the folk roots world and Clive was thrilled to be asked to take part. More information about the CD (including how to buy it!) can be found here.
Clive is spending most of this month in his home studio recording songs for his next solo project. It's going very well.... 9 finished titles so far and another dozen or so in various stages of completion. Projected release date is "sometime in 2010". More info here as it becomes available.
BGO have now released all five Gregson & Collister CDs plus a "Best Of...." compilation. Click here for more information...

Clive's solo catalogue is now available for digital download via iTunes and other reputable download sites.
