About Clive Gregson

One of the great unsung heroes of British songwriting, Clive Gregson has penned clever tunes with sometimes witty and always heartfelt lyrics since the mid-'70s. While he's performed in a variety of formats, he's been a favorite with critics, discriminating listeners, and his peers -- his songs have been recorded by Nanci Griffith, Norma Waterson, and Fairport Convention, and he's performed and toured with Richard Thompson, Eddi Reader, and Plainsong. Gregson's work with his band Any Trouble is best appreciated on The Complete Stiff Recordings 1980-1981, while those interested in his collaborations with Christine Collister should investigate 1989's A Change in the Weather. Fine examples of his solo work include 1996's I Love This Town, 2002's Comfort and Joy, and 2004's Long Story Short.
