Goodbye Jules

Hi friends, a lot has happened for Love Street in 2023 and 2024 - highs and lows. We are very sad to announce that our lead singer, Jules Clark, passed over on 19 April, 2024. He died peacefully at home surrounded by family and friends. Jules lived life to the fullest, and even though he died just a few days short of his 61st birthday, he managed to pack a lot into this life. In addition to his success as a musician, he was an accomplished maritime attorney, loyal friend, devoted son and brother, and loving husband. Anyone who knew Jules would know that he would want you to celebrate his life and honour his memory by continuing to listen to his music and support Love Street. 

Just a few days before Jules passed away, he achieved his dream of releasing Love Street's second album into the world. “The Alchemist's Daughter” is now available to stream and purchase on all major platforms. Please give it a listen and let us know what you think by leaving feedback for us on our Facebook or Instagram pages. All proceeds from the sale of this album will be split between Prostate Cancer UK and Stella Maris, a charity that helps seafarers around the world – a cause that was very close to Julian's heart.

A limited-release vinyl version of the album is planned sometime in the near future, with special artwork and lots of other surprises. Keep an eye out here for more info. And Godspeed, Jules, we hope you're continuing to spread the love through music in another realm. You are dearly missed in this one, but you will live on through the beautiful music you created over the years, with Love Street, Soul Traders, JJ Clark Band, 80 Stone O' Boogie, Dr Funkenstein, Crocodile Thong, Seven Seas, and many more. 

We have had to postpone the first two performances for Dancing in the Craters, due to events beyond our control. This will be re-scheduled for either Autumn 2023 or early 2024. We are hoping to be able to be joining by the amazing Hungarian Band "Dirty Slippers" (also produced by George Shilling). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rI-Lpzsqqeg

We have also been forced to delay the launch of the new album' "The Alchemist's Daughter" but we hope to resolve issues soon so watch this space.

Happy New Year all on Love Street. We all hope that 2023 turns a corner for all of us and the world at large. Work on the new album is proceeding with all the rough mixes now complete and soon heading into George Shillings studio again https://www.georgeshilling.com/ to add the extra bits and bobs before moving to final mixing and mastering. We are delighted to announce that the amazing April Anderson https://open.spotify.com/artist/2wZ9mg39QwriA0qv6qRKVO has agreed to work with us on vocal arrangements and to add her amazing voice. 

Finally the long awaited "Tell Me the Answers" which tells the story of Merlin has been completed. We are hoping that John Boorman will allow us to use an extract from his amazing film Excalibur on the track https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excalibur_(film) We will keep you posted. Look out the the album live launch dates. We hope to see you there.
