About Me |
|
| Born at a very early age in Belfast, the middle one of five children, Cliff was introduced to the heady world of rock and roll when given a drum kit at the age of five for Christmas. Unfortunately, the Who were appearing on the Christmas Top of the Pops Special with Keith Moon drumming. Following his lead, Cliff destroyed said drum kit! Moving to England as a lad, he took up the devils tool (guitar) at the ripe old age of thirteen having been given a beaten up old acoustic by his father, again for Christmas, and this instrument lasted more than six hours. Formed his first band aged fourteen with two erstwhile friends and started gigging on a regular basis (at least once every six months) playing schools, youth clubs, parties etc. For the last twenty years, Cliff has trodden the boards with many bands and has played with some fantastic musicians including members of; Iron Maiden, Whitesnake, Reef, UFO, Ozzy's Blizzard of Oz and others too numerous to mention! His musical influences range from Joni Mitchell to Van Halen, Stevie Wonder to Rush, Mozart to Motorhead and The Beatles to The Red Hot Chilli Peppers!! Has in the last year formed a new band, involving three of the finest musicians he knows: Jarrod Loughlin ..s, guitar and vocals; Rich Blake on bass guitar and vocals and Tim Price on drums. The latest CD 'CUT' is doing OK in Japan and selling well at gigs. The new video for 'Blame' from the 'CUT' CD is now viewable at www.cliffmoore.com. Check it out! An update on the band line-up: Jarrod has left the building due to other commitments. We wish him all the best with his future ventures. Keep checking out the website at - cliffmoore.com for other news. Have a look at the march issue of 'Guitar Techniques' mag for our 4* review of the 'CUT' CD!!! (you can see a scanned copy in my pics). We are off to Hungary on the weekend of 6th-8th July 2007 having been invited to play at the Gastroblues Festival in Paks. Looking forward to it!
We just returned from our Hungarian trip and I have to say that we had a great time! The people were very friendly and helpful, (especially with our lack of the language),and the beer was 70p a pint. Hurrah!!I ended up playing 4 times! On Friday afternoon, at a VIP bash for a Finnish promoters 50th birthday with the mayor of Paks in attendance. On Saturday morning, at a beautiful church where Richie and I jammed with a couple of the guys from the Yardbirds. On Saturday Night, when we did our gig proper and went down very well indeed. Last,but not least,on Sunday night I was invited to get up and jam with an 11-piece Frank Zappa tribute band which was amazing!!! Check out my website - www.cliffmoore.com for more news and photo's. I have just added a scanned copy of my 'Guitar Techniques' interview (June, 2007) to my pics. Please check it out! Please keep checking my blog and website for upcoming gigs! January 18th 2008 We just got back from Holland after playing some gigs with Julian Sas. It was a great experience for us and the audiences were fantastic!!I just wanted to say a big thankyou to all the people who made us feel very welcome and a special thanks to Julian, Rob, Tenny and Ed for organising us with gear and transport etc.We shall return!!! Yet again, we had a great time at the Gastroblues Festival in Hungary last month. We didn't get much sleep but we played to some fantastic people and are looking forward to our return! I have posted some videos on my Blog page. Please check them out. |
