Our LCM featured artist today are a new duo Ward & Parker recently created by two old friends Cliff Ward and John Parker Our LCM #SongOfTheDay is their debut single 'Broke My Heart' released on June 1st which features Jade Rhiannon Ward from The Willows on backing vocals and Dan Wilde on electric guitar. The track was recorded by Dan Wilde at his studio near Cambridge and mastered by Pete Maher. The artwork and official music video was made by Ian Farrell and the model and the dancer in the video is Mariesha Collen.

John Parker; previously of Nizlopi fame and Cliff Ward, founding member of The Willows, are a duo that now seem like an act that destiny brought together. Between them they hold many years experience on the stage and are excited to be performing together.

Their first encounter was through Stu Hanna performing as the Megson band in 2016. It was obvious right from the first rehearsal that the two jelled together with the same musicality and sense of humour!

After many years compiling a long list of solo songs Cliff felt the time was right to start going out playing them and John was onboard from the outset. Alternative, acoustic jazz/pop with influences from John Martin, John Butler, Newton Faulkner, Go Go Penguin and many more... Ward & Parker are set to release there first single in 2018 and gig as much as possible across the UK.
