Dave Clark

I was very, very lucky to spend my youth during the '60s ”

I was raised Church of England but I love the Buddhist philosophy, it's very powerful, non-violent. ”

Who wants to be a 40-year-old rock and roller? You cannot live in the past. ”

To think I thought you could lose your place in history. ”

I bought the rights to 'Ready, Steady, Go!' several years ago because I didn't want the segments to be chopped up and sold off. I thought the shows should be left intact. ”

Our band was different. We were still playing rock 'n' roll, but we had an entirely different sound: just one guitar, but an organ and a saxophone. ”

I don't think you'd say we'd be rivals because we've got a completely different line-up to The Beatles. ”

I enjoyed every moment, but we'd been everywhere, done everything. I wanted to get back to being just Dave Clark, not Dave Clark Celebrity. ”

I miss physically going out on stage and performing. That's the ultimate high. ”

The Dave Clark Five was basically a live band. During '63 we got the Gold Cup for being the best live band in Britain. ”
