WARREN CLARKE - HARD-FI RESCUE MANAGER

British rockers HARD-FI have been hailed heroes after rescuing their manager WARREN CLARKE from a beating by over-zealous nightclub bouncers in Spain. The group are performing on Balearic party isle Ibiza this summer (07) and had to save their boss after door men refused to let him in a venue to see the band in action. Clarke says, "I tired to explain I was the manager but he wasn't having any of it. "All of a sudden I was dragged into the kitchen then Steve (Kemp - drummer) stormed in and Rich (Archer - singer) stopped the tunes and got everyone chanting, 'Bring him back.' "I returned to the dancefloor a hero."
