Michael Weston King & Lou Dalgleish are outstanding songwriters and singers individually, who between them have worked with such diverse artists as Nick Cave, Bryan Ferry, The Brodsky Quartet, Steve Earle, Nils Lofgren, Ron Sexsmith, & Graham Parker, but together they create harmonious magic and are a formidable musical force

Since coming togther in 2011 they have released 6 albums, and won numerous awards in the UK, Scandinavia and N. America. Their songs have been covered by over 50 different artists and featured in various films and TV shows. Lou's song 'No Matter What Tammy Said' was placed in the top 25 country songs of the 21st Century by Country Music People magazine, while Michael's song 'Riding The Range' was recorded by the late, great Townes Van Zandt

The current My Darling Clementine live show is a trip through their extensive back-catalogue, including songs from their 2021 album Country Darkness, a collection of Elvis Costello songs re-interpreted.
