Artwork for "King's Ransom" Album Revealed!
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."

Caamora Norway “Alchemy” Rehearsals
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."

Caamora Norway Acoustic Bluray!
"An Evening with Clive Nolan and Friends: A Taste of Alchemy and More..." is an acoustic show recorded in October 2016 in Norway, featuring Clive Nolan (piano and vocal), the original Caamora soprano Gemma Ashley, and the cast of 'Alchemy' in Norway, including Eirikur Hauksson (Magic Pie), Elisabeth Ellingsen, Harriet Müller-Tyl, Christine Ekeberg, Finn Mathisen, Magdalena Grabias and the instrumentalists (from the Norwegian progressive rock band, The Windmill): Morten Clason (flute), Stig Andre Clason (guitar) and Arnfinn Isaksen (bass).
Clive: “Playing these acoustic shows in Norway was a superb experience. I had no idea what to expect until I arrived, and it was soon clear we had a great set of singers. I really enjoyed the shows. We all did well, and I think that comes out in this DVD. The audiences were terrific as well - very enthusiastic and responsive. This recording is a fitting testament to the first performances of Caamora Norway.”
'King's Ransom' Video Trailers!
The year 2017 will see the CD release of Clive's new musical ‘King’s Ransom’, as well as the theatrical debut of the show in September. Just as exciting as this are the rumours that there might be a feature film version of both ‘Alchemy’ and ‘King’s Ransom’ some time in the future. This would be in collaboration with filmmaker Neil Monaghan. With this intention in mind, Neil is producing a small series of trailers for the upcoming ‘King’s Ransom’ release and performance.
Clive: "I'm happy to present "King's Ransom' video trailers! The first one features myslef as Professor King. We gave the second one the title of 'Jeopardy', and it features the characters Eva (Gemma Ashley), Josephine (Verity White), William (Guy Barnes), Roza (Natalie Barnett) and King (that's me again!) Each one of these trailers puts us an inch closer to that feature film plan. Hope you enjoy it!"
Don't forget that tickets are available for 'The Fire and the Quest' weekend, featuring the debut performance of 'King's Ransom'.
