   About The Cliftons
The Cliftons formed sometime after 1986, and are named after the legendary jazz singer Tony Clifton. They live in Glasgow and are the proud owners of some hobbies. Sometimes they play their music in public. Maybe you might want to listen to them one day.   I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)

Hi there!
Your songs are A M A Z I N G !!!
Are you going to have a gig soon? I'd love to see you.
Pete, good luck with the State Broadcasters gig next week. Unfortunately, I can't make it, but I saw you at the Meridian and it was really really great!
All the best,

Hello,
Thank you for the kind comment. Another One Creative Scotland gathering will be happening again - provisionally on Jan 17th 2009. The press-release for the Call For Visual Artists should be going out next week. It would be lovely to have you all come along. The Tchai Ovna Jazz-infused 'Zen Den' should also be back in residence.

Good times.
