Clive Culbertson ○ Broken Heart

Having released a series of fine pop and punk singles on Belfast's Rip Off Label, Clive's band The Sweat landed an album deal with Dave Dee’s Double D Records. The single ‘Why’d Ya Have to Lie’, picked up major airplay across the UK, ensuring the band a string of promotional UK dates, before Clive returned to Northern Ireland to set up his own studio, 'No Sweat' and to develop his solo career.

After quickly attracting attention as a fine bass player and songwriter, Clive became a commercial session player, performing on countless live, Radio and TV appearances, whilst establishing himself as a sought after producer on the busy country music scene.

In the late 80s, a friendship with Van Morrison developed into an active role as bass player in Van’s live band. Clive subsequently played bass on the Avalon Sunset album, which featured the massive hit single, ‘Have I Told You Lately’. He also toured extensively in UK and Europe with Van and The Chieftains in 1988 promoting the Irish Heartbeat album.

Since leaving Van’s band, Clive has continued to develop his writing and performing career, notably with country rock band 'New Moon', who were hugely popular on the country festival circuit in the late 90s/early noughties and being a special guest of the Anthony Toner Trio.

After two Top Ten Hits in Japan, ('Time to kill' - 1979 and 'Kiss Me' - 1981) and the current fascination with powerpop music in Japan, Clive’s solo 80s vinyl, punk material has been steadily selling for substantial sums of money on the Japanese collectors’ market resulting in Tokyo based 1977 Records re-releasing two of Clive and The Sweat's CD's in 2007.

Clive is now re-releasing some of his greatest hits to radio with the first single “Broken Heart” impacting now.
