about
Irish musician Clive Barnes has been slowly gaining a worldwide reputation as one of the finest Lapslide/Regular acoustic guitarist and songwriters on todays scene. Having released four critically acclaimed albums of his own, he has played and recorded with Joe Cocker, Taj Mahal and Eric Bibb, has played three sold out US tours, tours of France, Germany and the UK and taken various awards, Including Album of the Year 2002 for "Welcome to Farewell" in the US magazine 'Acoustic Guitar'. Clive's own concerts are not to be missed with RTE Television critic Harry Guerin writing after witnessing Clive in Vicar Street Dublin, "Clive is a lap slide guitarist who can make one acoustic sound like six, Barnes transported the entire, hushed venue across the Atlantic to where the paths taken by the Delta Blues, Tom Waits and Bruce Springsteen all led to his own special territory. Balancing intensity with between song banter that would challenge any stand-up, Barnes' four songs were a revelation, and with each one you could hear him shrugging off more and more of his 'best kept secret' status." www.myspace.com/clivebarnes User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
