'Alchemy' West End Tickets on Sale Now!
- Details
We are happy to announce that tickets for the London Off West End production of 'Alchemy' are ON SALE now! The shows will take place at the Jermyn Street Theatre from 12th to 16th August, 2014 (5 evening shows plus a Saturday matinee).
Jermyn Street Theatre is situated in the heart of Historical London - just a three-minute walk from Piccadilly Circus. Because of the intimate nature of the theatre - just 70 seats in the venue (5 rows facing, 2 rows on side), the production will feature 8 actors. The cast will be announced soon. We are very excited to bring the show to London... and hope to see many familiar faces there!
'Alquimia' in Buenos Aires!
- Details
Clive's visit to South America in March this year has resulted in what might become a turning point for 'Alchemy'. Talks to one of the Buenos Aires major theatre team brought plans of a brand new production of the musical in Spanish! Although details are yet to be confirmed, the show is scheduled for summer 2015.
Clive: "Thanks to my time in Argentina, I had some meetings with a theatre production team, and things are looking very promising. There is a plan in place to produce a full theatrical version of 'Alchemy' in a major theatre in Buenos Aires... in Spanish! The cast and crew would naturally be mostly Argentinian but there is a strong whisper that the original band (Mark Westwood, Scott Higham, Kylan Amos and Claudio Momberg) may be asked to provide the core of the music over there. There is also a strong probability that the talented Noel Calcattera would star in this production as Amelia. We are not just talking a one off gig there... we're talking a 'season', and that is very exciting!"

Clive: “So, I am still coming down from my trip to South America. I had a great time in both Argentina and Uruguay. I even crossed a street into Brazil. I just wanted to thank everyone who looked after me so well over there. Special mention to Fernando Gomez and Maria, and of course Ricardo Rosenblatt and Eli. I had a great time, and I hope you enjoyed the English cooking!
Many thanks also to Gonzalo Ares, Lore Pescio, Noel Calcaterra and Claudio Momberg for their wonderful contributions to the Cavern show in Buenos Aires, and to all the lovely people who came along and provided such enthusiasm and warmth to that excellent gig. And to Gustavo Ghisalberti, of course who helped to make this sell out show run so smoothly. Thanks again, to all of you!”
Back to Buenos Aires: An Interview by Andres Valle, Mellotron

On March 4th, 2014 the audience will have a chance to see Clive and his guests perform at the Buenos Aires famous rock venue, The Cavern. After four years Clive is returning to South America for his only concert scheduled in Argentina this year. We are pleased to announce that the event has been already SOLD OUT!
Clive: "The gig I am doing in Buenos Aires will be a small and intimate experience. I plan to perform material from various acts and albums I have been involved in. I have some guests who will help me along with this, but basically we have a piano, a guitar and some voices! Thanks to the added involvement of Gonzalo Ares (guitar), Lorena Pescio (voice), Noel Calcaterra (voice) and Claudio Momberg (keyboards), this will be a nicely varied show."
Arena 'Contagion Max’ 10th Anniversary Edition!
- Details
Ten years after its original release, a special two disc version of 'Contagion' is available via Verglas store! It is a limited edition of this classic Arena album, enlarged by the the EP-tracks inserted in the proper places in the concept. A special digipack with full artwork and 28 page booklet including the lyrics will be a treat for any fan of the band.
Clive: "I must admit that I had given up the thought that 'Contagion Max' would ever actually be pressed, but there it is! This was always the idea... that there would be a kind of 'directors cut' of 'Contagion', with a little more of a story line, and more detail in the character of the album. So, I am more than happy to say here it is. It was very special to sit down and listen to this music again after ten years... to hear it as an album (not just one or two songs to learn for live shows). So... finally... it is complete. Enjoy!"
