Clive Nolan Announces Epic New Musical Album: The Mortal Light
British progressive rock luminary Clive Nolan is set to release his latest musical masterpiece, The Mortal Light, a 4-CD box set accompanied by three lavish booklets. This
ambitious project marks the third installment in Nolan’s acclaimed Alchemy series, chronicling the thrilling adventures of Professor Samuel King as he faces his most formidable
foe yet—Makaria, a malevolent demigod in Norway’s remote Hamningberg.
The Mortal Light takes listeners on a sweeping journey from the murky tunnels of London to the desolate Land of the Dead, storm-ravaged seas, dangerous harbors, and the
mystical realms of Vardø. The musical features twelve principal singers, a 32-voice chorus, twenty-three cameo performances, and a fully immersive orchestral and rock
soundtrack, ensuring an unforgettable auditory experience.
The Mortal Light will be available February 15, 2026, via Crime Records and We Låve Rock, and can be pre-order HERE:
https://independentmusicmarket.com/en/rock/123017519-nolan-clive-the-mortal-light-4cd-box-7090035890816.html

We’ll make sure to share photos from the day with all of you.
You are incredible. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I love you all.
Christmas Magic in Hospital
What truly mattered this year, what genuinely filled my heart, was knowing that those little angels
experienced real Christmas magic on the day itself.
For children spending Christmas in hospital, and for the parents beside them, it can be an incredibly
emotional time, full of worry, exhaustion and longing for home. Being able to bring laughter and joy to
Great Ormond Street Hospital in London meant everything.
The visit was filled with gentle festive music from Sar on guitar, moments of wonder from Sacha the
magician, quiet comfort from Olivia and her therapy dog Thomas, and Andrew’s incredible spinning
plates, bringing smiles and wide-eyed amazement along the ward.
I’ll share more soon, but for now I just want to say thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to everyone
who helped me and Bad Dog Promotions make this happen, in collaboration with Spread a Smile. You
are truly wonderful human beings.
