Imaginaerium "The Rise of Medici" Live in Holland!

Imaginaerium liveOn January 26th, 2024, at Parkvilla Theater in Alphen aan den Rijnfor, the Netherlands, the first ever live presentation of Imaginaerium's "The Rise of Medici" album took place in front of a sold out theatre.

Clive: "A big thankyou to everyone who came along to the gig on Friday night. Our first chance to present the ‘Rise of the Medici’ album. The first half acoustic show was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed sharing various thoughts and anecdotes… turns out we over ran by about 20 minutes! Then came the presentation of ‘Medici’. I must say I have enjoyed playing ‘the baddie’ in this set up… I was pleased that the ‘growly’ voice survived the evening. The enthusiastic standing ovation at the end was very kind and most welcome, and proved that this idea, begun by the late Eric Bouillette, was well worth all the work that went into it.

Laura and I are pleased that the Imaginaerium legacy is very much alive and kicking.

Thank you so much to everyone who helped us out with all of this… Arne and Tracy for getting this gig off the ground and running with it… JJ and Nicole (And Gabriel and Dorian) for providing beds and excellent hospitality…. Magda (Doid!) and Vincent for selling all that merchandise… Petra for all her help along the way… Thanks also to Lenne, the theatre director for his support and to Steven Loos for dealing with our sound (Fantastic job old son!). Last, but not least, a massive thankyou to Marijke and Andy for their wonderful vocal performances and to Simone for his excellent guitar work!
And finally, my thanks to Laura for her big voice and passion for the project… she’s the heart of Imaginaerium."
