Zombie Weekend at the Mead Hall!
Clive: "And, that was the second Mead Hall Event (‘This is not the Zombie Apocalypse)! What a fantastic couple of days… great music, a fascinating zombie presentation, enthusiasm, friendship, and a wonderfully close-knit feeling … we even had some excellent weather in the end!
My massive thanks to all the talented performers who took part, and to the amazing crew who keep the heart of these events beating!
Finally, a big BIG thankyou to all you intrepid Mead Hall Adventurers, who crossed the lands to be part of this weekend… from the USA, from Canada, from Belgium, Germany, Poland, Norway, Italy, France, Holland, Spain, Scotland, Wales… and even England! It was terrific to see every one of you! I hope you enjoyed the event, and I hope you will come back for the next one. Right… I need to clear away some zombies!"

HRH Prog Awards!
Congratulations to Clive Nolan and Pendragon for winning the awards for Best Keyboard Player and Best Band at 2024 HRH Prog Awards. Well deserved indeed!
Clive: "[...] It was time for the ‘awards night’ - there was even a red carpet to walk along - nice.
Pendragon were nominated for best Prog Band, and I had been nominated for keyboard player. We found ourselves sharing a table with some other very nice people… we had been put right at the back of the venue, so I figured that pretty much told us that we would not be winning anything. Turns out I was wrong… Pendragon won ‘Best British Prog Band’, and I won ‘Master of Keys’… who’d have thought! So, thank you to the people who nominated us and to the people who voted for us: that truly was a surprice!

Music at the Mead Hall in collaboration with We Låve Rock are happy to invite you to an inaugural “Vikings & Victorians” Mead Hall event that will take place over two days on September 6-7, 2024. The event will consist of three concerts:
Friday, September 6th (evening): Victorians! Scenes from Clive Nolan’s Musicals will bring to life full costume extracts from “She”, “Alchemy” and “King’s Ransom” with a taste of Clive’s forthcoming musical “The Mortal Light” performed by the Caamora Theatre Company artists and Caamora Norway Chorus.
Saturday, September 7th (afternoon): Clive Nolan Unplugged will feature music from Clive’s vast symphonic rock repertoire, including songs from Strangers On A Train, Shadowland, Arena and other projects, performed by the Caamora Company soloists and guest instrumentalists.

We will also listen to Professor Christopher Monk (the original translator of “Song of the Wildlands” chorus lyrics into Old English) revealing history and anecdotes behind the story of “Beowulf”.
The event will be concluded with an afterparty, featuring a performance from the Cheltenham based rock ukulele band, Frankenstein’s Lobster (Clive might be joining the band for one evening only!)
