Clayhill
Clayhill was a British three-piece folk band comprising Ali Friend, Ted Barnes and vocalist Gavin Clark. They released their debut album Small Circle in 2004, and released two EPs and another LP, Mine at Last (2006). Throughout the summer of 2006 they toured with Mercury Music Prize winners Gomez and Beth Orton, as the support act on both her UK and US tours to promote Comfort of Strangers.
In 2004, they appeared in the special Christmas concert at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London as one of Aqualung's special guests. In the same year their song "Afterlight" was used in the soundtrack of acclaimed Shane Meadows thriller Dead Man's Shoes. Their cover of The Smiths's "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want" is featured on This Is England, also directed by Meadows.
Gavin Clark, lead singer of Clayhill, is featured on four albums by UNKLE: War Stories, End Titles... Stories for Film, Where Did the Night Fall and Another Night Out.

One Nerve
by: ClayhillKnock yourself out
I got more in the vault
You spit from the hip
You climb through the cult
I'm in a stand count
The ropes of the real
You are a no one
A spoke in a wheel
Are you gonna raise ground
Raise ground for me
And I
I see what you're doing here
I'm sick of the shit
From you and you're kind
Yeah I
I see what you're doing here
You're breaking me down
One nerve at a time
Knock yourself out
I got more in the range
A shot from the top
A cry from the cage
I'm in a head lock
A battle of will
We are a no one
