THE TRAVELLING WOODBURYS

Clive and his new ukulele group The Travelling Woodburys Ukulele Band played their first ever gig - Saturday 6 July 2024: Woodbury Long Tables, Woodbury village green, nr Exeter, Devon - with special guest Beeds. Here's a taster from that first gig:

Then on Saturday 3 August 2024 they performed at Rock Around The Clock, Clock Tower Cafe, Connaught Gardens, Sidmouth, Devon - with special guest Beeds (part of Sidmouth Folk Festival). Clive did a solo gig at the same venue the following Friday.

PLEASE NOTE ... in recent years most of my gigs have been private or corporate events which, for obvious reasons, are not listed here. Any public events I'm involved in will appear on this page.

CLIVE SOLO 

In exchange for appropriate recompense (fee negotiable according to situation) I will attend your event - corporate function / wedding / party / club / concert / festival / carnival / fete / village hall / arts centre / social group / luxury seaside villa (you never know your luck!) etc. - and perform a suitable selection from my deep bag of songs old, new and original. I can perform from a stage or fixed position, with a small PA if necessary, BUT my preferred format, that works really well, is...

THE STROLLING (UKULELE) MINSTREL ... straightforward, low-tech, acoustic, uncomplicated, old-fashioned. This is the simplest and therefore most cost-effective option as there's no need for wires / stage / PA / soundcheck / roadies, it's just me moving freely among the guests with my uke. Live background or foreground music as desired, from a wide repertoire including classic pops, standards, novelty songs and instrumentals. 

TIKI / HAWAIIAN-THEMED EVENTS ... have become very popular in recent years and are a speciality of mine. I rock up sporting my Hawaiian shirt and lei and perform a varied selection of Hawaiian, hapa haole, tiki and similar tropical-style tunes mixed in with a few old favourites specially arranged for ukulele.
