Dan Clark is a versatile singer/guitarist/keyboardist/bassist/drummer, often seen playing non-stop requests at The Piano Works club venues in London's West End.
He performs regularly at venues such as Royal Ascot, Goodwood Revival, Wembley Stadium & Brands Hatch, for corporate clients including Ford, Canon, DHL and Global Radio, alongside many original performances at Glastonbury, Secret Garden Party, Standon Calling, Nashville Meets London & many more major festivals.
