Growing up as the son of a successful Beatles impersonator, Clark was hooked from an early age and had seen and met the likes of Carl Perkins, Gerry Marsden, The Merseybeats, The Searchers and the Swinging Blue Jeans before even learning to play the guitar. The first song he learnt was Buddy Holly’s ‘Oh Boy’ and his first gig was performing ‘Maxwell’s Silver Hammer’ on a bill that featured Jet Harris of the Shadows. Becoming a Beatles Tribute artist was an inevitable lifelong ambition and after the dissolution of his own band in 2009, Clark initiated the steps to find likeminded mop tops.

Clark grew up in the south of England, Germany and the U.S.A with his five sisters. He graduated from the University of Glasgow with a Master of Arts in Theology and Religious Studies but his only religions are The Beatles and Liverpool Football Club.

Joe's fate as a musician was sealed at the age of 11 when a chance Saturday afternoon at home brought the Technicolour Pop-Art wonder of The Beatles second movie ‘Help!’ into his life. His first guitar followed soon after, and armed with a copy of The Beatles Complete songbook and an ever growing collection of copied Beatles albums on cassette and vinyl, Joe taught himself music from The Beatles unparalleled catalogue of songs.

Early adventures into song writing soon followed and with this brought the mastering of drums, piano and of course bass guitar. It was the bass that resonated most with Joe, and learning from his favourite Motown, Beach Boys and Beatle records he developed a deep, melodic and individual style. Joe furthered his interest in arranging, production and recording in a variety of high school bands and recording projects and soon immersed himself in Glasgow's vibrant music scene, performing and recording with a variety of successful groups most notably The Owsley Sunshine.
