News!! New recordings added 9 January 2021. See the “new table” of songs from the last few years (no particular order) – about 150 more to come! In addition there is a table of songs off the album “Off to Brighton”
On this page, you can:
– download individual songs, mp3 and pdf, containing words and guitar chords..
– listen to extracts of Clifford’s songs that haven’t yet made it into the new download format.
During the changeover to the new download tables, only songs in the new table are complete songs. Those listed in the year tables (see lower tables) only open an extract of the mp3. These will be updated with full versions for download incl. the pdf.
Please note:
1. There are still a few copies of James’ CDs, On the way (mostly cover songs with info. booklet ) and Off to Brighton (own songs with lyric booklet) Songstore – CDs .
2. James has not yet made many studio versions of his songs but he will be singing them at events! If you’d like a preliminary version of a song (see titles in tables), please send a request to: music{attl]jamesclifford.at or go to an event!
3. About 2/3 of the songs are in English, the rest in German/Austrian dialect with a few in French.
Feedback most welcome!
On some Androids e.g. Lenovo Tablets, the mp3 download icon may not be visible. You will probably have to download via another device. The pdf, you can open and save as normal.
