Stuart Clark is an English-Irish music journalist who has written extensively for Hot Press, and is a regular contributor to Irish TV and radio. He has a current album review slot with Pat Kenny every Friday on Newstalk. Before going into print journalism, he spent time on board the Voice of Peace and Radio Caroline ships, was part of the abortive Radio Free England/Ventura project on the MV Manor Park and spent six months with Radio Sovereign in northern Italy.
While still at Sevenoaks School in the 1970s, he was running round the fields of Kent as the operator of short-wave pirate Radio Mercury, eventually being raided and arrested on Christmas Eve 1977 while broadcasting from a wooded area next to Princess Diana's former school, West Heath. [1] Clark is the deputy editor of Hot Press and has penned an official Why Can't We? book in collaboration with The Cranberries. A roving reporter on Virgin Media's The Uprising TV show, he has further contributed to the likes of 2fm, RTÉ Radio One, Today FM, BBC Radio Ulster, Radio Nova, the Irish Daily Mail, Business Post, Evening Herald, Food and Wine, the Ritz Hotel magazine and the Ryanair, EasyJet and Wizzair inflight magazines.[2]
