Cliff Jones
I'm a singer/songwriter from the UK.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Used to play live when I was in a band. I have less time for rehearsals now, so I just muck around on my own, writing songs and things. Never gigged solo in public, unless you count trees. Never signed, no airplay. You know how it is.
Your musical influences
Bob Mould, Colin Hay, Crowded House, James Taylor, Elvis Costello, REM, Doves, Buffalo Tom, Counting Crows, Led Zeppelin, Nick Drake, Beastie Boys, Carol King, Velvet Underground, The Church, Tragically Hip, Liz Phair, Aimee Mann, Francis Cabrel
What equipment do you use?
Acoustic guitar, electric guitar, alto saxophone, harmonica, mandolin, banjo, penny whistle, bongos, keyboards, samples and drum machine. I use an ordinary dynamic mic and a digital 4-track machine.
Anything else?
Not at this point.
