The adventures of Clare Moore- multi instrumentalist and Hall Of Fame PLAYER



Here is a discography/CV for Clare Moore over the years we have played music together. She has done more than me outside of our own road which we have been cutting ourselves. Just thought I'd put it out there, as they say. And next time a person taking on the role of writing about music and specifically "women in music" produces something thats along the lines of an agreed upon straight rock reportage as cut and pasted over the years from other peoples equally lazy attempts, bear in mind that they have walked past this incredible body of work. They would have wilfully stepped over all this activity as its SURELY TOO MUCH TO BE TRUE. As a multi-instrumentalist (drums-percussion-keys-vibes) songwriter, soundtrack composer, bandleader and singer. Scoreboard!
Clare Moore!
