CLIVE BARNES has gone and released a few live videos from a recent show in Cleere’s Theatre in Kilkenny. We were on hand on the night of the show in February to record the full two hours for a later podcast and PR use, along with the videos for his new YouTube channel.

We’ve also released some footage of Clive performing in France with roots legends Taj Mahal and Eric Bibb which can also be seen on YouTube.

Clive takes to the road in May for a co-bill tour with Luan Parle. For full dates check out Clive Barnes on MySpace.

New Videos From Clive Barnes

One project we’ve been working on of late involved some nice video work for Clive Barnes. We caught up with Clive at an intimate show in Cleere’s Theatre in Kilkenny and walked away from the gig with 16 video tracks and over 90 minutes of high quality audio.

We’ll be releasing a few videos this week on Clive’s own YouTube channel, the first of which you can see below.

The setup was unintrusive – a live feed from the desk, HD camera planted at the rear of the video for a single camera shoot. If you’re interested in having your own show recorded then why not get in touch? It’s all about the video these days you know…

We’ve been working with Clive since 2008, under our original My Music umbrella. Since then we’ve been booking some of Clive’s shows and tours, managing his tour promotion and most recently the promotion and online distribution of his fourth studio album, The Ghost Country, released in September 2009. Through Event Media we also developed the album’s artwork and promotional imagery for the 2009 Ghost Country tour.

About Clive Barnes

The Ghost Country is the sound of Clive Barnes at the top of his game as a vocalist, guitarist and songwriter.

His fourth studio album, The Ghost Country elevates Barnes to a truly unique sound having forged his style and delivery over years of touring the US and Europe with the likes of Eric Bibb, Taj Mahal, Jeff Beck, Alison Krauss, Seasick Steve, The Blind Boys of Alabama and many more.

As a musician, Barnes is highly regarded as one of the finest performers on the roots circuit, a reputation solidified by the lyrical and songwriting prowess on this new collection of songs. From the rip-roaring banjo-fuelled opener of Shotgun Grin to the big sky foreboding title track of the album, right through to the closing track of Borderlines, this recording is populated with stories of characters running and returning, longing and dreaming, down on their luck and finally finding peace, characters so thick with realism you could feel them move right through you.

Out of the studio and onto the stage, Barnes is not to be missed as a live performer for this is where the sheer raw honesty and energy is each track comes to life. RTE’s Harry Guiren noted in a review of Clive Barnes performing at Vicar Street, Dublin, “Clive is a guitarist who can make one acoustic sound like six. Barnes transported the entire, hushed venue across the Atlantic to where the paths taken by the Delta Blues, Tom Waits and Bruce Springsteen all led to his own special territory.”

The Ghost Country is available to buy now in all good record stores and online via iTunes, Amazon, eMusic and CliveBarnesMusic.com.
