Singer / songwriter In 1996 on a beach in Enniscrone Co. Sligo, Anthony John Clarke sat down and spent an hour and a half writing ?Tuesday Night is Always Karaoke? now a folk classic, but you?d be mistaken to judge this body of work on these 90 minutes. Hard on the heels of this song followed ?The Broken Years? & ?The Only Life Gloria Knows?, just two of a 15 Album catalogue of songs that guaranteed this wordsmith a place in the heart of the folk scene.
? Anthony John Clarke is the real drop, he understands songwriting and the light and shade? - Colum Sands
The Man Himself AJCAnthony John Clarke: (Singer/songwriter, sublime raconteur.)
"We all look at life, people and things. Anthony John knows how to SEE what we look at, and uses his depth of compassion and insight to write songs which make us look again. Like tidal water, he is gently but inexorably powerful."
--- Simon Nicol
" He can charm his way into your affections before the first song is finished"
---Ian Bruce
"Anthony John makes you feel every emotion. Absolutely fabulous entertainer!!!!!"
----Jenny Williams
Anthony John Clarke: (Singer/songwriter, sublime raconteur.) You think he is singing a love song and all of a sudden he turns it into something else.
---Alan Power
Not only has he written four of the most popular songs on the folk scene ? ?The Only Life Gloria Knows?,
?The Broken Years?, ?Walking On Sunday? and the immortal ?Tuesday Night is Always Karaoke?, but he remains
in essence the reason that folk clubs and festivals continue to thrive!
He is hilarious, serious, compassionate, irreverent, brave, challenging, and a proper
guitarist with an instantly recognisable voice.

SET AND SESSIONS :
HOW ABOUT ???
Vaak zijn /waren jullie aanwezig bij mijn
huisconcerten.
En graag ga ik hier mee door en hoop jullie daar ook weer te
begroeten...
ECHTER: ER komen weleens opmerkingen, als :"Jammer
dat de sessie na afloop zo kort is"
EN er komen mailtjes van fantastische muzikanten ,die on the road zijn
en graag bij mij in de lounge willen spelen...nog meer huisconcerten in een
seizoen proppen is ondoenlijk,
Nee zeggen tegen zo'n aanbod echter ook.
VANDAARUIT is er een nieuw concept in mijn brein ontstaan, called:
SET&SESSIONS
In het kader hiervan zullen er een aantal keren per jaar avonden gaan
ontstaan, waarbij ik jullie graag zie verschijnen, om kennis te maken met
de muzikant(en) een setje naar ze te luisteren (c 40 minuten ) en dan samen met
deze muzikanten een sessie te spelen/of te luisteren.
Dit alles in de informele opstelling van een cirkel in mijn lounge.
