Details: 

Brother of Charles Clagget. About 1760 he published music with Charles in Edinburgh.

In 1762 he was active as a publisher in London, and between 1763 and about 1771 he was in Dublin working as a cellist in various bands. The only evidence of his activities in the Dublin music trade are from a c. 1768 advertisement in the London Magazine noting songs for sale at his 'new Music Warehouse, Castle st.' (Pollard).
