Gallus Moll Obit: RIP Terry Clarke (1948 - 2020) (10) RE: Obit: RIP Terry Clarke 26 Apr 20


Please note that I shared the obituary that was written by Kate Clarke.
There are many wonderful tributes to Terry, memories, tales, photos, videos being posted on Kate's facebook page - think you need to ask to be her friend to view them?
I met Terry while he was living in Argyll, and I needed a musician to assist our performance group Dalriada Fencibles.
(I had no idea he was a working singer songwriter, thought he was just a guy who played guitar!)
Most of our productions were based around the life and times of Robert Burns, and written by the late Janette Valentine. Terry came along to our rehearsals - and fell in love with Burns! I gave him a book of the poems and songs of Robert Burns and he immediately composed a tune for The Slave's Lament as he couldn't wait for me to sing him the original tune.
Most of the songs we used in the productions were either from Burns or the Scots tradition - but after Terry joined us he composed and sang a number of beautiful songs which greatly enhanced the performances.
We have all been greatly saddened by the loss untimely of Terry, and only a couple of years after Janette's passing.
The Dalriada Fencibles years were memorable, a privilege to be part of. Terry Clarke's songs will live on-----
