Nigel Clark (born 18 September 1966, Redditch, Worcestershire) emerged on the British music scene as the lead singer and bassist of the pop band Dodgy. The band released three albums on A&M Records before initially breaking up in 1998.
Life and career
Whilst working at a Redditch record store in his youth, Clark inserted Crass flexi-discs into the sleeves of Duran Duran records.
Clark returned to performing in 2005 as a solo artist. This new project received a positive review from Q magazine. He released his debut album 21st Century Man,[1] on 20 November 2006.
In 2007, Clark teamed up with dance music duo SFG to produce a new version of Dodgy's "Good Enough". SFG (which stands for Sunshine Feel Good) had been writing dance tracks together in their Hereford recording studio for two years. The group consists of Jon Sidwell and Andrew Marston.[2] BMG Music Publishing, who own the copyright to "Good Enough", allowed the reworking in July 2007, and the single is available as a white label.[3]
He is now a music teacher at "The Aspire Academy"
