PLEASE NOTE: Clique Clack will not be organising any more tours until after February 2009. We're fully booked! Please don't contact us if you wish to tour before this time.
Clique Clack is an independent booking agency based in Nottingham, UK. Artists/bands that we are working with or have lent a hand to in the past include:
Whilst we're always interested in working with new bands, please don't be offended if we don't manage to get back to you. We welcome messages and requests from new bands, but as we're incredibly busy at the moment, we're severely limited in terms of how many artists we can work with at once. Do drop us a line though, it's always nice to hear from you!
