Life and Career
Whilst working at a Redditch record store in his youth, Clark inserted Crass flexi-discs into the sleeves of Duran Duran records.
Clark returned to performing in 2005 as a solo entity. This new project received a positive review from Q magazine. He released his debut album 21st Century Man on 20 November 2006. In 2007, Clark teamed up with dance music duo 'SFG' to produce a new version of "Good Enough" (originally released by Dodgy on their 1996 album Free Peace Sweet). SFG (which stands for Sunshine Feel Good) had been writing dance tracks together in their Hereford recording studio for two years. The group consists of Jon Sidwell, who has worked alongside some of the top musicians and DJs in the United Kingdom for 25 years (including Judge Jules and Binary Finary), and Andrew Marston, who also presents the 'Friday Session Introducing...' on BBC Hereford & Worcester. Dodgy are currently playing festivals and performed at The Brighton Beer Festival on 15 July 2011, performing many old favourites.
Having performed in 2011 at the LeeStock Music Festival in Sudbury, Suffolk with the rest of Dodgy, it was confirmed in January 2012 that Clark would be returning alone to do a solo performance at LeeStock 2012.
BMG Music Publishing, who own the copyright to "Good Enough", allowed the reworking in July 2007, and the single was available as a white label. Clark planned to release the 'lost' album, 'Make Believe Love'.

“A black boxer’s career is the perfect metaphor for the career of a black male. Every day is like being in the gym, sparring with impersonal opponents as one faces the rudeness and hostility that a black male must confront in the United States, where he is the object of both fear and fascination.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
