Musician, songwriter (and teacher). Formerly guitarist and vocalist of the phenomenally successful* Essex covers band, Zootgoose. 

Started writing songs when a teenager in the late 80s using a Teac Tascam 4-track. These days it’s a more modern set up using Pro Logic, a Mac, an SM58 and RØDE microphones and a lot of wires. 

Countless plug in instruments are programmed or played live. A Yamaha bass provides the low notes and several Ibanez guitars provide glitz and grit. Acoustics are played on an Aria and an Epiphone. There is also a mandolin when the mood suits. Instruments are played live as much as possible.

All music is produced by the artist who does not claim to be an expert. Just try and make the music sound good then hope the mp3 version isn’t compressed to oblivion!

I do this for fun and because I enjoy doing it. Thank you to anyone who listens. Whether you like the music or not, thank you for giving it a chance. 

(* predominantly on the south-east Essex coast. You had to be there!)

Clint Mann is a singer/songwriter who lives in the Forest of Dean. His music is grounded in Prog rock but is also inspired by the history of the local area and contemporary issues affecting our environment. Original compositions are driven by vibrant guitar playing with varied chords and complex time changes. Think 'Genesis' meets 'Roy Harper' meets 'Big Big Train' and you'll get the idea. Hear Clint at events and festivals around Gloucestershire or at Mitcheldean Folk Club on the 2nd Thursday each month. 150+ original composition are available online at Soundcloud.
