This is Seb Clarke

about

Seb started out as a solo artist playing soulful ballads with an acoustic guitar and blues harp. A tour of acoustic tents at numerous festivals culminated in a performance at T in the Park in 2004. Later that year, the line-up expanded to incorporate a bass player and drummer, but this trio rapidly grew into the twelve-piece. The band sound was getting faster, louder and more energetic and soon developed into a curious blend of Northern Soul and punk. This in due course lead to the name “This is Seb Clarke”. As a solo artist Seb had, for obvious reasons, been billed under his own name but now the ‘act’ had very much become a band. Already, as a nod towards old Northern Soul posters, sixties Stax album cover designs and Spinal Tap the band had begun to advertise itself, with tongue firmly in cheek, as “This Is Seb Clarke”. “This is” stuck and so a solo acoustic act had officially become a full throttle, stomping twelve-piece Soul-Punk band. The band embarked on a UK headline tour, played a sell out gig at the London West End venue The Borderline as well as a performance at Guilfest which found them vote the second best band at the festival by Radio 2 after Blondie and before The Stranglers. This is Seb Clarke’s debut album Rover, since it’s release in Summer 05, has gone on to win both critical and commercial acclaim; ‘a real quirky pleasure’ crack magazine ‘top notch’ fly mag ‘in terms of their scope, energy and artistic ambition, they deliver on every level’ spill mag.
