Clive Nolan (born 30 June 1961)[1] is a British musician, composer and producer who has played a prominent role in the development of progressive rock. He has been the regular keyboard player in Pendragon (1986–present), Shadowland (1992–present), Strangers on a Train (1993–1994) and Arena (1995–present), as well as writing lyrics for Arena and producing or co-producing several other bands' albums.

Early life[edit]

At the age of sixteen, Nolan became the youngest musician in England (at the time) to gain an ALCM diploma in composition from the London College of Music.[2] Holding both a BMus and MMus, he played violin, cello and viola, although his main study while at university was composition, orchestration, musical arrangement and conducting.[2]

Career[edit]

In 1982 Nolan won the cup and two medals at the composers competition in the Cheltenham Music Festival.[2]

In 2008 Nolan's rock opera, She, was filmed for DVD in Katowice, Poland.[3] In 2010 the show was again performed in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Since then, Nolan has started the Caamora Theatre Company,[4]

Musicals[edit]

Besides his progressive rock ventures, Nolan has written a rock opera, She, based upon the novel by Sir H Rider Haggard. In 2008, it was filmed for DVD in Katowice, Poland.[3] In 2010, the show was again performed, in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Since then Nolan has started the Caamora Theatre Company,[4] and turned She into a full musical, which was performed for the first time at The Playhouse in Cheltenham in 2012.[5]

Nolan's musical Alchemy finished its run at the Jermyn Street Theatre in the West End of London in August 2014. The libretto is based on the composer's original story.[2] He created a sequel entitled King's Ransom in 2017.[6] Both musicals have now taken the first step towards becoming full theatrical-release feature films.

Writing[edit]

Nolan wrote the lyrics for the 43-minute metal song "Crimson II" by Edge of Sanity, which came out in 2003.

In 2005, Nolan wrote a novel called Mephisto Bridge which is as yet unpublished.[7]
