"My objective", Clive says, "is to make a CD of lyrically intrigueing songs laced with diverse musical influences. I want these songs to be such that fans will still be singing to themselves or humming the melodies long after their stereos, MP3 players or radios have been turned off".

In September 2011, TONIGHT YOU'RE GOING OUT was voted Song of the Week on TALENTCAST, a European, weekly, radio show, featuring original music of artists from around the world. Visit www.talentcast.nl and select archived show 2011-09-10 and 2011-09-17 to hear the two shows featuring Tonight You're Going Out.

Clive got his first guitar at the age of 12, had basic music training in high schools in the UK and Canada and wrote his first song at the age of 16. He writes songs in a variety of styles including rock, contemporary pop, folk-rock, blues-rock, country-rock, gospel and instrumental. Knowing that versatility is an invaluable trait, Clive performs solo, duet, trio or full band gigs on a casual basis, in between his regular work as an airline pilot.

Clive admits that being a pilot, he has his head in the clouds much of the time but believes the creative world of music is a good escape from the fatigue and challenges of his aviation career.
