My Darling Clementine

For what began as a side project for Michael Weston King & Lou Dalgleish, a simple labour of love, a homage to the classic country duets of the 60’s and 70’s, My Darling Clementine has grown and grown and now rivals the solo careers of its two main protagonists.

Outstanding songwriters and singers individually, who between them have worked with such diverse artists as Nick Cave, Bryan Ferry, The Brodsky Quartet, Steve Earle,.

As well as showcasing brand new songs, the current live show is a deep dive into their extensive and revered back catalogue. Michael and Lou’s songs have been covered by over 40 different artists and featured in various films and TV shows. Lou’s song No Matter What Tammy Said was placed in the top 25 country songs of the 21st Century by Country Music People magazine, while Michael’s song Riding The Range was covered by the late, great Townes Van Zandt.

Given their mutual love of other songwriters, expect a tastefully chosen cover version or two, including something written by Elvis Costello. Their 2021 album Country Darkness, a collection of Costello songs re-interpreted for duet, was made in collaboration with EC’s long standing pianist Steve Nieve.

SUPPORT: Nick Austin - With songs influenced by musicians such as Elliott Smith, Nick Drake and Ichiko Aoba, Nick creates intricate finger-picked landscapes that tell stories of mystery and folklore.
