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. 
Two gigs each in the Edinburgh Fringe with Orange Claw Hammer and Savourna Stevenson. More to come…
The two Cauld Blast Orchestra albums, long out of print, are now available as digital downloads on Bandcamp. Both have previously unreleased bonus tracks – three tunes recorded for the abandoned third CD, and two for an unfinished compilation album on Eclectic Records. The latter includes a wonderful collaboration with the great Dundonian singer-songwriter Michael Marra, on his “The Homeless Do Not Seem to Drink in Here”.

Here’s a track from Orange Claw Hammer’s 2nd CD “New Beef Dreams”. Available mid to late February 2021 on Bandcamp.
I’ve been recording videos and posting them on my Facebook page every Thursday during lockdown. Very low-tech, using an effects pedal, loop station and my phone. Mainly my own stuff, but also covers of Beefheart, Soft Machine, Caravan and Ken Dodd! They’re now up on YouTube – look up “Steve Kettley entertains at home”. Here’s #5 – my version of a Henry Cow tune.
All gigs cancelled for the time being. Terrible time for musicians, but much worse of course for those who get ill. Stay safe everyone.
Somehow my club has reached its 100th edition! Five great acts I’ve been priveleged to put on several times will be playing on Thursday 28th February 2019.
