Original Clockwork

About Me

Original Clockwork were formed when friends Graham McCusker and Peter Quinn, tired of being lone songwriters, decided to form a band. Early on, it was decided that the role of guitarist would belong to Peter, accompanied by Graham trying bass and occasionally keyboard/piano. As the line up for the band was sought out in mid 2005, things soon changed. From November the band began to practise together regularly and gelled well, completing a short set including "Glance", their first full song. After going through various line ups, the band are now finally settled with kids (Kieran & Mel).
The name Original Clockwork is simply a reflection of the bands view on how their music should be; Unique (original) and tight like clockwork. Original Clockwork are seeking gigs in various venues throughout Scotland, with plans to do a short tour and are currently recording a 7 track demo. Live dates are listed above. To contact or book the band e-mail [email protected]
Unfortunately, due to a flurry of rising tension, the band split in June 2007. It was most possibly for the best.
Que Sera Sera.
However, do not fret! You can check out Original Clockwork's offspring, as well as any other related projects, in our top friends.
Enjoy, but never forget... haha.
Peace!
