Something a bit different from our usual vibe this Sunday. We have hosted Ben Clempson on a couple of occasions but it is a while since he last performed as the duo Clemency.
“Richly textured grooves, emotive vocals and powerful original material. Every time I hear this set, it evokes Renbourn, Jansch, McShee and co. but sharpened by a contemporary social and musical perspective.”
HML: live performance review.
