After failure of two emergency retinal detachment surgeries, last Sunday Clive was forced to undergo another eye operation. He is now back home recovering from the most difficult one so far. Hopefully, this is the final stage of the procedure and we will soon see Maestro regain his health and return to his usual musical activities. Fingers crossed and we continue to send messages of support and wishes of swift recovery!

Clive: "It seems that fate is against me! I have been rushed back into hospital for a third emergency operation on the eye! It is clear that I was not free of the problem after all - it's not the disappointment that hurts, it's the hope! My state of mind is currently dwelling somewhere between depression and anger! So, it's back to the prison of the green wrist band and a semi twilight world. I'm sorry I wasted all your wonderful optimism and congratulatory messages, but like it or not I'm back to square one! The adventure/nightmare continues..."

More dates have been set for Clive Nolan's first musical, 'She'. On January 30th 2016 the concert version of 'She' will be performed at the famous Cultuurpodium Boerderij in Zoetermeer, Holland. Subsequently, 'She' in its theatrical version will return to the Cheltenham Playhouse on September 2nd and 3rd. Watch out for further announcements!

Clive: "It is very nice to know that the life span of my musical ‘She’ has exceeded my expectations. With the German show immanent and then a trip to Holland and another production in Cheltenham next year, there is plenty left to do with this show. Each time it is performed, it develops a little more, and I am happy to see how this show has matured over the years. I look forward to the continued ‘future’ of ‘She’.

For the Caamora Theatre Company, the show in Germany will be a very special way to conclude what has been a very eventful year. Don't miss it!

Fingers crossed, Clive!

Clive had to undergo an emergency eye operation due to a detached retina. The operation is believed to have been successful, but the final results will be unknown for at least a month. Clive is currently taking a compulsory recovery break.

Here's to a swift and thorough recovery, Mr. Nolan!

Clive: "I found myself in the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading, where a couple of surgeons did what they had to. It was decided it should be 'local anaesthetic' so that turned out to be a long 70 minutes which I won't describe right now! They believe the operation went well, but the results will be unknown for a while yet. I would be lying if I said this wasn't freaking me out, but I am strengthened by the kind thoughts you have sent me. I just wanted to thank you all for such great messages of support! It made a big difference to my frame of mind. I will do my best to be a 'patient patient', and look forward to annoying you with my music just as soon as I can!"

In November 2015 "She" will be performed in Reichenbach. The concert version will feature Clive Nolan (keyboards), Mark Westwood (guitars), Scott Higham (drums), Kylan Amos (bass), the new 2015 CAST and the CHORUS.

Clive: "On Saturday November 28th we will perform a concert version of ‘She’ in Germany. This is going to be a return to the wonderful Neuberinhaus Theatre in Reichenbach, where we performed ‘Alchemy’ a year ago. The is a very exciting prospect since we enjoyed last year’s show so much. A fantastic reception from an excellent audience. I get to be behind the keyboards again for one of my musicals - back with the band. I’m looking forward to that immensely! I hope to see some friendly faces there."
