Clare Portman’s beautiful debut single ‘All Yours Now’ is a classic story of the realisation that so often accompanies regret. With the emphasis on ‘now’, a heroine who has broken her own heart implores her lost love to forget the past and look to the future they could have together.
Clare’s powerful yet elegant vocals convey the urgency of the desire for forgiveness, and the tenderness with which she employs her guitar evokes the sadness of knowing there is no one else to blame.
Citing Ani DiFranco, Jewel, Sarah McLachlan and Joni Mitchell as influences and peers, Clare draws on her personal experiences and those of the people around her to tell us modern tales of love and living. On ‘All Yours Now’, she implores us to return to the purity of a woman, her voice and a guitar, just as her character beseeches her lover to return to her.
‘All Yours Now’ is available from Feed That Baby Records and heralds the start of a career that promises to touch us all.
I'll be playing a full headline set comprised of Persad originals with my new backing band. Support comes from the bequiffed Church of the Drive Thru Elvis and the mighty Lucky Face. The Duke of Catford will be DJing by royal appointment. Be there!

I am fine bar my hay fever. I am likely free. I know I have things on the Friday and Saturday but nothing on the Sunday. I shall try to get there to see you. :)
Yeah. Kind of like how a good horse race is so much more exciting if you have money on it, work is so much worse when you're ill. I think actually got away with doing 15 minutes of actual work today though.
If all you can do is sleep, you belong at home. On the other hand, I had a flu-like bug and was going hot and cold. I could function and do things but if I overexerted myself, I'd feel terrible. I went back to work and on my first day, I felt like I was living an out-of-body experience. Twas odd.
