Damian Clarke and Humstrum

About Me

SUMMER SOLO AND HUMSTRUM GIGS! A return for me to the wonderfully eclectic Big Untidy nights out, but this time I’m bringing along Marco who plays with me in Humstrum. Marco is from the german band OffLimits and plays didg, whistles and flute and sings. You may have seen him with me at the 50th birthday bash in Reading last year. We’re doing a good long set and there’s lots of other treats, like the wonderful Darrel Mitchell and his band. Spread the word. .
A rare performance for me at an English folk festival, but I am really looking forward to playing and it’s great to be asked as this will be a great bill of performers for the evening. More details when I know them...
SOLO CD... Well, amazingly enough Folk Roots have published a very positive review for Damian's solo CD, THE RIVER WHEREVER. ..."Sparkling programme of refreshing' wandering-minstrel' takes on trad songs (English, Breton, Plat Deutsch - all sung in the original language), interspersed with tunes. Accompanying himself on hurdy-gurdy or hammer dulcimer, with support from Marco (Lack Of Limits) and Pressgang colleagues, Damian's come up with an inspiring and enjoyable collection." Likewise four stars in Rock n Reel magazine and radio play in Germany and the US..and even in the UK. Thanks to everyone who has supported me in my new direction. You can buy the CD from us directly, using Paypal or cheques for 7 pounds. Email [email protected] for more details.
AND FROM FOLKER The biggest folk magazine in Germany has also spoken warmly about the CD, calling it a "charming musical miracle-bag"...and its getting played on Northern German radios. Can't wait to go back and play there again
