Acclaimed guitarist and composer Clive Carroll has created a
sound world all his own, with a signature blend of warmth and
humour that belies his dazzling technical skill.

Clive’s masterful compositions feature influences mined from the delicate cadences of Elizabethan lute classics, the imaginative eccentricity of Frank Zappa, visionary classical composers such
as Bartok and Ligeti, and hints of jazz and Delta blues!

Clive made his musical debut at age two as a banjo-strumming
cowboy singing nursery rhymes, and went to to earn a 1st
Class Honours Degree in Composition and Guitar from the
famed Trinity College of Music in London. He has toured and
worked with guitar greats such as John Williams, Tommy
Emmanuel, Xuefei Yang, Ralph Towner, and John Renbourn—
as well as pop icon, Madonna! Acoustic Guitar Magazine calls
Clive, “Probably the best and most original young acoustic
guitarist/composer in Britain”, and Total Guitar Magazine
includes him in their “Top 10 Best Acoustic Guitarists of All-
Time”. Clive’s latest solo CD, “The Furthest Tree”, has been
described as “…sensational instrumental music that knows no
boundaries”, and, “…a classic recording in the field of guitar
music”.
