Mel Clapham

Solo singer/guitarist playing lively pop covers and thought-provoking originals. Wide range of experience playing cafe’s, pubs, small festivals, events and have even played for the local Vikings!

The best experience I’ve had so far is playing for the Narrowboat sessions, a great experience and reached 25K audience online which was an incredible moment for me. Having my music heard widely and having people compliment me on my work was exceptionally rewarding.

I have started to learn about music production by producing songs I have written, and have had one of these recently played on BBC Introducing, it’s a song called Calling that I wrote after playing at Kendal Calling. I had a really mixed experience of playing for the festival and I went home early in the weekend when the mud was literally up to my waist! I’m in the process of producing all of my songs and I had no idea the scale of task I was taking on when I thought I would produce them in this way!!

I have a few releases including Roots & Wings, Intelligent Life and Distraction which are mainly guitar tracks. I’m keen to continue to release and grow my published works and my fanbase with it. I really enjoy the full circle process of being inspired and then having the finished piece played on air or when I have the opportunities to perform live.
