Dave Clark

I am a folk singer and songwriter, playing a variety of instruments including guitar, banjo, concertina and ukulele. I have travelled widely singing my songs to anyone who wants to listen to a good song. My journey has taken me all over the world and soon I will be taking a group to Himachal Pradesh, Northern India on a musical and tourism adventure. Check out the words of "It Will Surely Take Your Breath Away" in my Song Section.

I love songs that say something. In 1982 I wrote "Roll On Wild Rivers" as part of the Save the Franklin River Campaign. Many people sing my song and that's great. Along with my late wife Kate we presented an Adelaide Fringe show in 2022 on Reconciliation. We worked with Indigenous people. My song "The Land of the Ngarrindjeri" is about the first nations people that live around the lakes where the Murray River enters the sea.

I have written many songs and have just been recognised through the South Australian Music Hall of Fame for my contribution of original material. My Reflecting Song book has recently been published by Moon-glow Publishing, Macclesfield and has 100 of my songs, stories and poems. Let me know if you want a copy. I can mail it to you.

I loved singing with my late wife Kate. To honour her and get me moving on a new musical direction I will soon start recording a selection of songs that we sang together plus some new material. The album will contribute to the many other albums I have made.

Woody Guthrie once said... "Take it slowly but take it".
