Chris Clarke
Chris has been playing acoustic guitar since the early sixties. He loved the Beatles and a bit of R&B, but the strongest early influences on guitar playing were from Bert Jansch, John Renbourn, the harp music of Turlough O' Carolan, and Martin Simpson.
More recent influences have been Steve Tilston and Jez Lowe - but the most significant have been the floor singers listened to over the last fifty years.
