An acoustic duo playing predominantly original material and an eclectic mix of contemporary and traditional covers, their energetic live performances display their sheer enjoyment of performance, not to be missed.
From Phil Mitchell, Surf Cafe Sunday 06/12/2015
"The Shaw:Clark Project completed the line up and Pete and Jacqui put on a great set of songs from their album including Tony Bengtsson's "Sleep" plus a cover of Neil Young's "Sugar Mountain" along with Pete's customary off-piste guitar perambulations and verbal non sequiturs which always prompt Jacqui's exasperated remonstrations. All part of the show for Shaw:Clark Project."
Following an amazing showcase at 2015's Northumberland Live Festival, The Shaw:Clark Project are launching their new CD 'Broken strings & Broken Hearts' at the Surf Cafe, Tynemouth on 19th Feb 2016
Jacqui is a child of the 'folk' scene providing the finest of vocals, Jacqui has a great stage presence, captivates the audience and is often seen bouncing about the stage.
Pete is an exceptional guitarist and singer songwriter and provides Guitars, Vocals, confusing asides and songs.
Heavy on harmonies, the SHAW:CLARK PROJECT performances are fun, unique, energetic, and very well received with positive reviews all round.
Jacqui has a strong and unique voice, hailing from a traditional folk heritage having sung in folk clubs with her Father from the age of 10 (occasionally being hid under the bar if the police came) and is an invaluable founder member of Folk/Ceilidh Band Northumberland Fayre, as both singer and caller.
Pete was a comparatively late starter, he began playing in 1976 hailing from a Blues, Acoustic Rock, Prog and Singer-Songwriter background and has played in many bands throughout the years. His songs have garnered quite a following and he continues with his unique style of original, energetic and quirky approaches to song writing.
Apart from some amazing original songs we cover songs from The Beatles, Karine Polwart, Kate Rusby, Brian Protheroe, Jeff Beck & Imogen Heap, Lindisfarne, Neil Young, Barenaked Ladies, All About Eve, John Martyn, Gershwin, Fletwood Mac, Jimi Hendrix, Kate Bush, The Eagles, and much, much more...
