Clive Romney is a Pearl Award-winning recording producer, composer, songwriter, storyteller, arranger, teacher and performer and a 42-year veteran of the music business. He plays guitar, bass, mandolin, banjo, accordion, percussion, dan tranh, charango, bodhran and various other ethnic instruments as well as some piano. He produces several albums per year in his recording studio, Pitchfork Studios, engineering most of his own recordings.
