Nigel Clark Dodgy band member Nigel talked with BBC Hereford and Worcester about being on tour, dodgy splitting up and life after the band.
We also have music by Dodgy when they were playing in Amsterdam (this is previously unheard work, prior to the launch of this music map).
Amsterdam - "I was on a tube train and there was people on the tube train and I was singing and I didn't care. I must have had some nerve that day I think! But it does look really good, I do really like that one."  | | Nigel Clark in Tokyo at the launch of a music store 15 April 1995 |
On splitting up: "All of those things are really great if you're doing it with people you really like
We lived together as well. That was '96. We'd already been living together eight years. We're in a tour bus together, you're in a plane, on stage, you're in the studio - do you get any time away from them?... You just can't bear to spend any more time with each other." "Personally, I split the band up. I take full responsibility for it. But I couldn't continue it. I couldn't lie to myself that I was enjoying what I was doing anymore. I just didn't enjoy it." "Unfortunately, me and the band we run out. We run out of cards to play, games to play and jokes to laugh at." "I went to Brazil
I went to the end millennium carnival procession
It was something I always wanted to do. I went to Ibiza later that year. And then, the money ran out. You go 'What am I going to do'
Eventually I ended up working in Tesco's for a little while on the night shift. That was an eye-opener."  | | Dodgy played at the Worcester Northwick on Saturday 10 June, during the bands early days |
"The royalties are ok. But they're not enough to survive and run a family and all those sort of things." "I'm a part-time worker, part time dad, so I'm very fortunate in that sense.
" I do think of myself as being fortunate, even if I haven't got my old band and the success that I had.
" I'm fortunate in the sense that I've seen it, been there and done it, enjoyed it, and got out with my sanity.
" A lot of people fall by the wayside in the music industry because there's so many temptations out there.
" I got out before all those sorts of things could hit; I feel as though I've been saved.
" So I've saved myself from it and I don't regret that." |
