Dear all,

We hope this, our last message of the year, finds you well and happy.

As 2024 draws to a close, we’re sending an additional newsletter with 3 announcements.

No. 1 – NEW OFFICIAL WEBSITE

On Friday November 29th we are launching a brand new My Darling Clementine web site. The address stays the same but the look and content will be very different.

To celebrate this, we are offering a discount code on all merchandise bought from the new on-line store. Use the coupon code MDCBF2024 for 20% off your order (valid until Monday, Dec 2).

So pull up a chair and peruse (with drink in hand) and purchase at your leisure. mydarlingclementinemusic.co.uk

No. 2 –  UPCOMING LIVE SHOWS

We are just a few days from the UK tour starting on Wednesday December 4th. All concert dates and live ticket links are below, or on the website.

Please do book in advance if you can. It makes a huge difference.

Thank you.

No.3 – NEW SONGS STREAMING NOW

When something horrific and life-changing happens, artists tend to channel their trauma into their art, whether it be poetry, painting, sculpture, film, music or song.

You will probably be unsurprised to learn that following the heart breaking events of the summer, both Lou and I have each written songs about Bebe.

Having written our songs though, we have wrestled with what do we do with them. Should the writing be a private, cathartic process for healing, a theraputic endeavour to try to make sense of our devastation? (Should the writing in itself be enough, or do we share them?)

Well, after much thought, we have indeed decided to share the songs. We welcome you all to listen, in advance of their live performances in December.

If you’d like to, please go to the Bandcamp page or click directly on these links:

‘The Empty Swing’ – Lou Dalgleish

‘Sally Sparkles’ – Michael Weston King

You can stream them or you can buy them.

FINALLY – A THANK YOU

To all of you who’ve sent messages of love and support, and for all condolences and prayers offered over these difficult few months.

So, a new year beckons, with worrying news from America, the planet in crisis and violence continuing around the world. Perhaps all we can do is be as kind to each other as possible. What harm can that do?

We’ll leave with you with a few photos from our recent Japanese tour.  It was just what we needed. Thank you Hiroshi, Audrey and to our fine band of brothers who joined us on stage each night. And of course to all our wonderful Japanese fans and friends who came to the shows.

Yours in music,
Lou & Michael
