Clayton talks to Ally Paterson about her new song - Dig
“I was inspired by the gold-rush miners who travelled across the world to try and make a go of it, even when success wasn’t guaranteed” says the singer-songwriter. “The song came to me when I was at Sovereign Hill, a historical gold-fields site and replica of a gold-rush town - imagining what it would have been like to be a miner from the other side of the world, in a harsh landscape with growing unrest, big corporations and regulations moving in with increasing corruption…what it would have been like to keep on digging, being independent and free.”
