Graham Clark has been playing jazz on violin professionally since 1982.

While living in Bristol and London in the 1980s, he played with Keith Tippett and Andy Sheppard.

From 1988 - 1992 he was a member of cult psychedelic jazz-rock band "Gong", touring extensively in Italy, France and the UK, and recording several albums.

Based in NW England since 1996, Graham is a regular player on the thriving Manchester jazz scene.

In 2003, Graham did a solo improvisation tour supporting the American "No-Neck Blues Band" (Paris, Amsterdam, London). Graham also plays with 'Toolshed,' an experimental fusion of techno and big band jazz led by Graham Massey, of 808 State.

In 2004 he performed with Tool shed for a Radio Three broadcast from Belfast, as part of the BBC Music Live festival.

Graham continues to give both solo and collaborative improvised performances.

Current projects include a free improvising string quartet, and improvising solo accompaniments to silent movies.

In October 2004, Graham recorded a series of improvised duets with US violinist Mark Feldman. These were broadcast in February 2005 on Radio 3's "Mixing it".
