          Biography of Acker Bilk

          Bernard Stanley Bilk, better known as Acker Bilk, was an English jazz clarinetist who gained international fame for his 1962 hit "Stranger on the Shore" and his long musical career.

          He was born on January 18, 1929, in the small town of Pensford in Somerset, England.

          Early Life and Musical Journey

          Bilk's parents tried to encourage him to pursue a musical education, but he preferred playing ball on the streets.

          It was during his time in the army that Bilk learned to play the clarinet, and he soon discovered his talent. By the mid-1950s, he was already performing as a professional musician. He adopted the pseudonym "Acker," which meant "friend" in Somerset slang
