Helgi Clayton McClure has been writing songs for ten years, always trying to flout traditional lyrical themes but sticking loyally to guitar-based instrumentation. Described variously as “The New Jake Thackray” and “like a brownstone step – warm but with a hard edge”, his aim is always to entertain first and self-indulge later.
Helgi has made close to 500 public appearances, both in his own right and as a bass player and guitarist with various bands. He is setting up a string of shows for 2018 and has plans for a DIY album release later in the year. He’d love it if you visited his new online hideaway at www.helgi.co.uk, first port of call for new music, shows and updates.
