Ilse Clark

About Me

This last year has been an exciting year for Ilse as she FINALLY released her debut album - Turn the Page... Ilse has always had a loved music. She taught herself to play guitar from the age of 18 so she could add music to her lyrics which had been buzzing around her head for years! The opportunity came about to record her first album through her multi-talented brother who had just set up his own studio...multi-talented as he is also her bass player, manager, producer and graphic designer!!!Ilse writes a lot of her songs when she is at the bus stop or walking and often finds herself so distracted that she'll turn a corner and walk right into someone while singing....ooops! Ilse's hopes for the this year are to get herself heard more and to finish recording a second album... If you would like to buy the album or book Ilse to play a gig or at weddings, parties, events, fundraisers, etc. then get in touch through this site or [email protected]
