Polar-Kin- (can this go in on both our web pages please) :

Clive and Chrissy started the polar-kin project as a partnership with the aim of recording and promoting the music of Britains eco-warriors and tribal folk and to raise funds for environmental campaigns. We recorded and produced all the Tribal Voices albums, helped with marketing and promotion of the albums and helped set up the Tribal Voices collective of 150 musicians which aims to promote and record members work and the campaigns they support. All members of the collective are able to buy tapes in at cost price and sell them on. Profits from the sale of tapes through mailorder raises funds for environmental campains that members are involved in.

Clive Ray grew up in London during the Beatle-mania era. All the kids wanted to be a Beatle but he wasn’t allowed to grow his hair. He graduated to tea-chest bass with the school folk band and played lead parts in school musicals. He continues his musical interests playing melodeon and dancing for the North Wood Morris in the 1980’s. He toured Britain, Germany and Austria with them, helped set up a local folk club and formed Denis and Clive Live, a fast folk duo and recorded an album with the Flagmen.

In ’92 Clive helped found the Society for the Preservation of Working Oxen and toured with a team of oxen to Sidmouth Folk Festival where he learnt the didjeridoo and went on to form the Space Goats. The band plays acoustic tribal folk music at festivals, on the streets and social justice and environmental campaigns around Britain. The Space Goats have been involved in Twyford Down, Solisbury Hill, Bath Fairmile and most recently the Crystal Palace protest camp. Space Goats helped open the One World Rainbow Centre in Kentish Town, Nov. ’93 and in October ’94 Clive went on tour with the Space Goats as part of Charter 88’s Velvet Revolution Tour to highlight the Criminal Justice Bill at universities across Britain.

In ‘ 95 he formed The Polar-Kin Project with Chrissy. Inspired by the dedication of muscians to saving planet Earth they sold everything and with the help of the Network for Social Change, they began the Tribal Voices Projects using solar-powered equipment.

In ’96 The Polar-Kin Project recorded the sound track for the film The Great Walk, in Grafton, Australia and made a radio program for Aboriginal community radio, Radio Goolarri.
