Clive Nolan: 'Alchemy' is for me the biggest musical and artistic challenge I have ever attempted. I really didn't expect a bigger 'mountain' to climb than the 'She' project, but I was wrong. This show is simply larger in structure and depth. By the time we do the Cheltenham shows, it will have been four years of my life!

This special evening at the Theatre will be enriched by two additional concerts:
- RPWL - The music of this German band definitely has its own style – modern yet also drawing from the best traditions of the prog-rock genre. All in all - brilliant compositions, catchy melodies, mature and intriguing sound! As the band announce, it will be the last complete performance of "Beyond Man and Time" album in Europe.
- Ray Wilson, named by Classic Rock Magazine one of the greatest British vocalists of all times. The year 2013 is very special for Ray Wilson - it marks twenty years since the release of his first studio album - “Swing Your Bag” with Guaranteed Pure. His show in theatre entitled „20 years and more” was prepared especially for this occasion and will mainly include songs from his current live project Genesis Classic - “Not about us”, “Follow you follow me”, “Mama” or “Jesus he knows me”, but also tracks known from Ray's solo career – “Tale from a small town”, “First day of change”, “Swing your bag”, and the ones recorded with Stilskin – “Inside”, “Lemon Yellow Sun”, “Another day”. We can also expect the material taken from his forthcoming solo album “Chaising Rainbows”. Ray Wilson will perform that night along with string quartet, a saxophone player, an acoustic guitar player and a pianist.
