About Me

Order this amazing Black Widow DVD from http://www.mysticrecords.co.ukClive Jones was born in Leicester, Leicestershire, England on 28th May 1949. He is a songwriter who plays sax, flute and keyboards. He is also a vocalist. Clive's most famous bands are Black Widow and Agony Bag. Outside his own projects including the current musical "Metal Heart" Clive also writes music to other artists. Clive is now successfully teamed with Producer / Writer Kevin Brooks and together they have written and produced a considerable portfolio including rock, pop, and commercial songs. Clive’s career began in the soul band Pesky Gee! In 1966, and his first album was produced by the late Gus Dugeon. In 1969 Pesky Gee! then became the cult progressive rock band ‘Black Widow’. Their classic album “Sacrifice” (produced by Roy Thomas Baker of Queen fame) is still regarded as the ultimate black magic album. Clive penned the single “Come to the Sabbat” on the album and it is still a huge global success, and is a popular cover for today’s metal bands. Spurred on by his performance at the legendary 1970 Isle of Wight festival and after 5 ‘Black Widow’ albums, Clive then formed and fronted the very strange and theatrical “Agony Bag” writing all the songs for their album “Feelmazumba” plus the much covered single “Rabies is a Killer”. Today Clive is still in demand and is as busy as ever! As well as maintaining audience contact through his weird one man show ‘Dr Pesky’, he writes songs and plays Sax & Flute on the albums of some of today’s leading bands.
