Cultural Influences
Musician Annie Locke was a close friend of Clarke for many years, and they worked together on The Love-Girl and the Innocent. After Clarke died unexpectedly at age 54, she wrote a suite of pieces in his memory, entitled, A Man Called Alan.
Clarke inspired a generation of actors, writers and directors, including Paul Greengrass, Stephen Frears, Tim Roth, Ray Winstone, Gary Oldman, Danny Brocklehurst and Iain MacDonald. Filmmaker Harmony Korine has cited Clarke as a major influence on his work.
Clarke's son is Gabriel Clarke, an award-winning sports journalist with ITV. His nephew John McMinn is Managing Director of Musicteam Limited, a UK-wide music publishing, production and performing arts company.
