About Me


Clinker has been making music since 1999. Originally all recorded by myself (Peter Jordan), its gradually turned into a full four piece band. The early recordings were very rough, due to the lack of technology and knowledge of how to use it.
Now I believe we get a great sound and LIVE we are sounding awesome, thanks to the great musicians/friends that i've managed to gather around me. Their commitment to the cause is unbelievable!
Its quite a varied bag what we do. What is available to listen to here is brand new stuff.
I've recorded 8 albums worth of material as Clinker over the last few years (including the new, nearly finished one) and a few more as Opera Dog.
Clinker and Opera dogs discography (of sorts) is :
