Clive's Guest Performance On Infringement Album
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!”

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."
