Musician & songwriter driven just by passion for songwriting and singing. I am releasing "SoundCloud first" but some selected songs are also on https://potbarley.bandcamp.com or Spotify etc, sometimes in older versions though.
Since spring 2023 I have been writing and recording mainly as a "one man band", using acoustic & electric guitars, bass guitar, keyboards, an old piano, conga, etc. and a voice.
Former member of German bands: In Rags (with Sami Yli-Sirniö and Roman Keymer), Sharkpool and Dutch bands Garbitsjkeng, The Wit, Trio van Putten and and a few others. I baptized my Alter Ego and named him "Pot Barley".

I love traveling and making music. A beautiful sentence that says:
  Life is for the living
Death is for the dead
Let life be like music
And the death of an unspoken note

Award winning Singer-Songwriter, Composer and Producer.

Clive loves to make music, he has always written his own music and has always tended to lean towards instrumentals. Having discovered that he can sing in tune, his more recent songs are vocal compositions but instrumentals still appear occasionally.

Clive's music covers a wide range of genre's from Country, through Blues and Jazz, Rock and into progressive rock. 

Clive's influences are many and varied, Vangelis, Tomita, The Alan Parsons Project, Paul Simon, John Denver, Billy Joel, Bob Segar, Fleetwood Mac, The Eagles, Neil Diamond, Rick Wakeman, Gerry Rafferty to name a few, so many good bands and  songwriters! 

Clive writes new songs constantly but only records a few, an important driving factor in his music is that other people enjoy it and are even able to relate in some way.

Clive does not use any form of AI in his lyric writing or musical compositions.
