Click Clack rides again!
My club Click Clack is starting again after a two and a half year hiatus, at a new venue! I’ve put together a fantastic 8-piece band to pay tribute to recently departed, legendary saxophonist Pharoah Sanders, one of my all time heroes. We will be called The Master Planners. Plus guitar duo Gomboc, and songs and improv from Noah and the Chomskys. 
And more Fringe gigs!
