Clive has performed as a special guest on the debut album of the Norwegian progressive rock band Infringement. "Transition" was released in May 2017 and launched at the We Låve Rock Festival in Hurum, Norway. The band consists of four core members: Hans Andreas Brandal on vocal (Caamora Norway), Stig Andre Clason on guitar (The Windmill, Caamora Norway), Kristoffer Utby on drums and Espen Larsen on bass. The album features guest performances from Clive (keyboard), Morten L. Clason (saxophone) and Elisabeth Syrdahl Ellingsen (Caamora Norway) on vocal.

Clive: “I recently recorded some keyboards on the debut album for the Norwegian band ‘Infringement’. This is a colourful album, full of classic symphonic rock moments, and I really enjoyed adding my bit to this. I recommend you check it out. Nice work guys!”

"King's Ransom", the third musical by Clive Nolan, is the next adventure of Professor King and his companions. Set in the Victorian 'Alchemy' universe, the musical is a tale steeped in political intrigue, high emotion and the all-pervasive presence of the supernatural.

Clive: "It has been several years in the making, but here it is… ‘King’s Ransom’ the musical. To me, this is a great testament to the wonderful singers and musicians I had the pleasure of working with, and a welcome return to the ‘Alchemy’ universe. With this special edition I have tried to provide added insight into the making of this musical which has been such a major part of my life for the last few years. If you like the music I make, then don’t miss out on this one!"

The cover for Clive's forthcoming “King's Ransom” CD has been now finalised. “King's Ransom” special box set, scheduled for release in August 2017, will include exclusive artwork designed by the acclaimed DC Comics artist, Mark Buckingham.

Clive: "The release of 'King’s Ransom' grows ever closer, and the show is really taking on an identity of its own. This will be an album of terrific vocal and instrumental performances with songs that I hope will stay with you long after the CD stops playing. The wonderful artwork for this musical has been created by Mark Buckingham, which I think gives the album a great atmosphere."

During the first days of April Clive took part in a series of rehearsals for the Caamora Norway production of his musical “Alchemy”. The shows will take place in Norway: Hurum, Kolben and Mysen from May 21st-27th 2017. Clive will return to the stage in his original role of Professor King. The cast will also include Eirikur Hauksson (Magic Pie) and Elisabeth Syrdahl Ellingsen, the lead vocalist of Clive's 2016 concerts in Uruguay, and many others. The Norwegian shows will also feature the live band (The Windmill) and the chorus. Tickets for all events are available HERE.

Clive: "I’m finally back from Norway… I got to stay a little extra thanks to fog… A lot of waiting around! However, there was no waiting around during the weekend of rehearsals. Everyone pulled together brilliantly, and I was able to watch the massive improvements before my very eyes! Well done to the whole cast, musicians, the chorus and crew for an excellent effort. I look forward to the next rehearsal and the shows in May."

Join us for an evening of music and fun at this intimate house concert. Clive (piano, vocal), Verity Smith (vocal) and Marijke Groenendaal (vocal) will perform songs from Clive's repertoire, including his musicals "She", "Alchemy", songs from his rock catalogue - Arena, Strangers On A Train and more, as well as from "King's Ransom" - two months ahead of the musical's premiere!

The event will take place on June 3rd, 2017 in Voorburg, NL (start at 8.30 p.m.). Nibbles will be provided, but bring your own drinks and cushions or small chairs to sit on! All funds gathered during the event will go to the production of "King's Ransom".
