At the end of 2024, Michael Weston King and Lou Dalgleish shared their first artistic reactions to the loss of their granddaughter Bebe King, at Southport with a select group of supporters in the media. The two songs, ‘Sally Sparkles’ and ‘The Empty Swing’, hinted at a new direction for the duo who make up My Darling Clementine.
“The events of summer 2024 not only changed the music they were making and the songs they were writing, it also altered their outlook on life. Recognising that everyone’s grief is individual, even that of a husband and wife, Michael and Lou needed to channel their suffering via their own individual creativity and in their own way, rather than in collaboration as My Darling Clementine, so they worked on two solo albums.”
