Clint, who started his music career in the late 1950s as a member of Danny King and The Dukes, later became a founding member of the internationally famous Moody Blues, the Birmingham band that rocketed to fame when their classic record Go Now reached the top of the charts in 1964.
Clint (real name Albert Eccles) later left the group to have more time with his family and was a carpenter by trade.
With encouragement from long-time friend Danny King, ClintWarwick was working on another recording project that was unfinished at the time of his death.
ClintWarwick belonged to that first incarnation - the one with Denny Laine, later of Wings, and the one that had a huge international hit with Go Now.
Clint felt under a lot of pressure to honour his familial commitments and tried to encourage his wife to come down to London with the baby and to get involved with the band scene and to befriend the girlfriends and wives of other band members.
Clint was naturally reticent, but nevertheless did get up and perform and has now recorded his first release in over 35 years.
