Biography

Clail worked originally as a roofer,[2] but during the mid to late 1980s based in Bristol, he became a warm up act for On-U gigs.[3] Clail first released a record in 1985.[2] Several 12" singles were issued between 1985 and 1987, before Clail's first LP for Nettwerk, Tackhead Tape Time, a split effort between Clail and Tackhead.[3] "Television: The Drug of the Nation" by The Beatnigs was remixed by Clail, Adrian Sherwood and Mark Stewart, on the Alternative Tentacles record label in 1988.[4]

In 1989, Clail issued his own album, billed as Gary Clail & On-U Sound System, on On-U Sound, which marked Clail's entrance to the electronic underground scene in Bristol, eventually leading him to work with RCA a couple of years later. This output incorporated several singles and EPs, as well as The Emotional Hooligan album (1991).[3]

Clail released a further album on Yelen Records, entitled Keep the Faith (1996).[3]

In 2013 Clail formed the Gary Clail Sound System and began work on the album 'Nail It To The Mast'.[1] It was release on 15 December 2014.[5]
