New venture from Clive Nolan
2006-12-12
Caamora is the name of the latest Clive Nolan endeavor, a collaboration between Nolan and Polish singer Agneiszka Swita. The two are working on a project called She. The musical version of She is based on the classic novel of the same name by Victorian adventure writer H. Rider Haggard. Led by Nolan and Swita, this epic production will feature guest vocalists, instrumentalists, orchestra and choir, forming a two-hour musical journey. An album will be recorded in the summer of 2007, with a partly staged performance to be filmed in a theatre for DVD in September, 2007. The album and DVD boxed set is planned for release this time next year.
The story: Two explorers travel to Africa and stumble into a world of mystery and intrigue. They discover lost tribes living in vast underground caverns and worshipping a living goddess. “She who must be obeyed” is called Ayesha, a queen who is believed to be many hundreds of years old. She welcomes the explorers, but her true motives soon become apparent. Ayesha has been waiting for the return of the man she loves, a man she murdered over 2,000 years ago!
The duo is seeking guest vocalists and musicians for the project. Bob Catley of Magnum is slotted for one of the two male roles. By way of preview, Nolan and Swita will do some performances as support act for British neo-prog band Galahad. They also will issue a special EP, available at those gigs and through the web site.
