Anthony John Clarke in Southport

Anthony John Clarke is a singer-songwriter and guitarist, originally from Belfast and based for some time in Liverpool.  His songs cover a lot of ground, from love songs to social comment and wry views of everyday life.  He lists among his favourite songwriters Al Stewart, John Martin and Joni Mitchell, thus showing excellent taste in my book.  He's making a return visit to the Bothy this Sunday.  On this tour, he will be joined by on some dates by Elizabeth van de Waal, Stev Rothwell and Conor Clarke (though I'm not sure which of these will be there on Sunday), but I do know the internationally acclaimed Celtic harpist Celia Briar will be performing. 

That's this Sunday at the Park Golf Club, Park Road West, Southport, PR9 0JS at 8.00 p.m.  You can get tickets in advance on-line here.  The venue sells Thwaites Wainwright real ale.

P.S. If you're near a radio at around 2.30 p.m. this Friday, he will be live on the Billy Butler show on BBC Radio Merseyside.  Listen live here.
