Background
Clive Gregson was born and raised in Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester, England. His earliest musical influence was The Beatles in the early 1960s. It was around this time that he received his first guitar as a present from his parents, using the proceeds from the sale of his older brother's unwanted drum kit.
Clive played in a band at school but played his first professional gig with Any Trouble, the band he formed in Crewe, England, with college friends, around 1975.
Going professional after Any Trouble signed a recording contract, Clive has continued as a working musician ever since, forming folk-rock duo Gregson & Collister after the band’s demise, then going solo.
