The Refuge of the Road – The My Darling Clementine Autumn Newsletter


Michael here, writing to you from the ancient Norwegian town of Halden.

I am out here for some solo shows while Lou is at home packing boxes, or at least pointing and directing overall-clad men who are packing boxes.

Yes, we are on the move, heading north from Birmingham to the great city of Manchester, which goesÂ someway toÂ explain why we have not been so proactive on stage over the summer.

But we will be fixing that laterÂ this month and into October with a run of shows in Germany, Austria, one in Holland and then 4 in the UK. We then return to The Netherlands in November, from the 4th -12th, including a collaboration with the great Dutch photographer Marco Bakker inÂ Edam on Nov 12th.Â This is both a gig and a photo exhibition. Marco took the fabulous photos thatÂ feature on the album. Details of all shows and how to get tickets can beÂ found here.

Many of these shows will be acoustic duo shows but Lou and I will be joined by various amazing players in Glasgow, Harrogate and some of the Dutch shows

AND DONâT FORGET – If you want to see My Darling Clementine play in your part of the world, please get in touch. We can arrange something directly with you or in conjunction with a venue near you.Â  Contact usÂ via our website,Â or ourÂ Facebook page,Â or onÂ Twitter.


We are delighted to announce a brand new video for the songÂ âYours Is TheÂ Cross I Still Bearâ OnceÂ again it has been put together by our good friend and colleague JohnÂ Humpheys, this time using selected footage from his brilliant 2015 filmÂ Numbskull,Â and features our much-missed and wonderful friend, the actor, musician and all round renaissance man, PaulÂ Murphy:Â https://youtu.be/sdd9tPHL31w.

Enjoy, and please share.Â We wouldÂ love for as many to see this as possible.

To watch the full film of NumbskullÂ go here,


Please tune in onÂ Monday, September 25th, 4pm, on BBC Radio 4 when Lou and I join Mark Billingham andÂ others to discuss the late great Hank Williams, talking about his life, his music and his demons.Â  WeÂ will also be singing. AsÂ a taster, you canÂ listen now to the My Darling Clementine version of “Your Cheatin’ Heart” Great reviews continue to come in for the the new album “Still Testifyingâ. Â The latest from 2 wonderful Irish webzine,Â Lonesome HighwayÂ andÂ Whisperin’ and Hollerin’.

Here in the UK the current issue of Country Music Magazine carries a 4/5 review and an interview, and RnR (Rock ânâ Reel) also has a 4/5 review. There are also more articles and interviews in the next issues of RnR (Rock ânâ Reel), Record Collector and on Americana-uk.com Over in Germany,Â Soul TrainÂ (among many others) has had great things to say aboutÂ âStill Testifying”Â and in The Netherlands too:Â https://www.bluesmagazine.nl/recensie-my-darling-clementine-still-testifying/ If youÂ donât have the album yet, there are various ways to gotÂ hold of your copy.Â JustÂ hit this linkÂ and take your pick. Thanks for all your kind wordsÂ about it – do keep themÂ coming.
