My Darling Clementine

back at the Acorn by popular demand - country/Americana duo My Darling Clementine

What began as a side project and heartfelt homage to the classic country duets of the 60s and 70s has blossomed into something extraordinary for Michael Weston King and Lou Dalgleish. Over the years, My Darling Clementine has grown to rival—and even surpass—their solo careers.

In just over a decade, the duo has released six critically acclaimed albums and a DVD collection and performed more than 800 shows across the globe. Their work has garnered numerous accolades and cemented their reputation as leading figures in the thriving Americana scene.
In 2019, they embarked on another collaboration with keyboard virtuoso Steve Nieve (Elvis Costello & The Attractions / The Imposters). Together, they reimagined a collection of Elvis Costello songs as duets, resulting in Country Darkness. Initially released as a series of vinyl EPs, the full album debuted in November 2020, charting in both the UK and European Americana charts.

After two years of touring, during which the Costello songs became fan favourites, My Darling Clementine is poised for another landmark year in 2025. A new album of original material is underway, with extensive tours planned across the UK, Europe, Scandinavia, Ireland, and the U.S.
