One of the founder members of the British Academy of Songwriters and Composers, Clive Gardner was originally a poet, until he was lured away from his first love by musician Jack Pound with the promise of fame and fortune. Clive has been writing lyrics in his tear-stained attic since the days of their first album, Low Pool Music.
Rescued from the belfry in 1999, and renamed Cole Hammer by producer Bird Guano, he stumbled forth in double-glazed raybans to collaborate on the experimental Domestic Bliss project with Jack Pound and Colin Gibson
