Georgio "the Dove Valentino" - David McClymont - Live shows for Dave Graney and Clare Moore in 2017

Early 2016 saw a recording session in North Melbourne organized by David McClymont, once bass player of Postcard Records premier act Orange Juice.




David also played in the Moodists in their extremely creative latter years ('85-87) which saw two EPs released.




After many years, David recently returned to writing and recording music. Projects of his own, others collaborating with MOMUS in Japan




and on many occasions , hooking up with different musicians and singers from across the world.

He has a Soundcloud page here. There are also many clips on Youtube. Its hard to pick a clip to show the depth and variety of all  the creativity and songwriting.

The session was to record a couple of songs with Georgio "the Dove" Valentino, a musician, writer and performer from Brussels (born in Miami).

Clare Moore was brought in on drums, Dave Graney on guitar and Georgio's collaborator Patrizia F on bass. David McClymont played keys on the song he wrote and bass on Georgio's song.

The session took place at Mick Harvey's rehearsal space in Melbourne and has been issued as a 7" single.

David McClymont made a video clip for another song that Georgio wrote and sang . "Don't Do Me Any Favours". Seems to be a Miami connection in the imagery?

Georgio "the Dove" Valentino will be returning to Australia in 2017 , accompanied by Patrizia F and will open for Dave Graney and the Coral Snakes at Lizottes in Newcastle March 31st and the Basement in Sydney April 1st.

Then there will be a series of regional NSW shows with Dave Graney and Clare Moore playing music as a duo supported by Georgio and Patrizia F. Dates listed below.
