Release Notes:
Former lead singer/songwriter for 90s Pop Band Dodgy, returns alone.
The Dodgy heyday was at the end of 1990s gaining the band much public
attention for a band persona of 3 cheeky and fun-loving musical clowns
with a happy go lucky nature. For ex-punk Nigel Clark, it wasnt a
particularly accurate persona and increasingly a persona that didnt
sit comfortably with his quieter nature. From Dodgy and the tabloid
friendly exploits at the peak of this career success, Nigel Clark
exited leaving the public arena in 1998.
Dodgy success had included a critically acclaimed 1st album The Dodgy
Album including the much touted single Lovebirds and the relative
commercial success for the 2nd album Homegrown that included the radio
friendly single Staying out for The Summer (used for TV advertising
currently). There followed platinum album sales for the Dodgy 3rd
album Free Peace Sweet (1996, A&M Records) with x4 top 20 singles Good
Enough, In a Room, If Youre Thinking of Me and Found You.
Nigel Clark was born in Worcestershire in 1966, and in moving out of
London in 2000, it was as good a place as any to return to his roots
and get back on track.
After 15 years in the music industry, Nigel Clark is more committed
than ever and as well as recording his own material, he has
successfully established music projects which offer music technology
and songwriting creative workshops, as well as working with other
artists and bands as a Songwriter and Producer from his Worcestershire
Studio.
In October 2006, Nigel Clark returns with a new album: 21st Century
Man (Hijack Records). Its a poignant and personal album reflecting on
the times and changes since days with Dodgy. A consummate songwriter
with a love of a beautiful melody, this album will remind you of
folk-pop music from yesteryear. Nigel Clark has often referenced his
music heroes (as a music fan first and foremost) and there is once
again a gentle simplicity to these songs and tangible audible
influences from Brian Wilson to John Lennon.
