Caamora set to return to South America in August
For further sponsor's gigs and more preparation work, Clive and Agnieszka will be returning to Bolivia in August. They will be joined again, by mark Westwood and Scott Higham, as well as Christina Booth, making her first trip to South America.
Agnieszka Swita: 'It's great news that Christina will be coming this time: we'll get a chance to work on those duets again. I'm also really looking forward to meeting some of the new musicians who will be involved in the new shows.'
'She' in January 2010
Finally, the dates have been set for the two Santa Cruz, Bolivia performances of 'She'. The shows will take place on 21st and 22nd of January 2010.
Clive Nolan: 'Hopefully, this will give us the time we need to work on the immense amount of preparations needed for such a big undertaking.'
Negations are already underway to take the show to other South American countries after Bolivia.
Alan and Christina confirmed for South America!
Alan Reed (playing Holly) and Christina Booth (playing Ustane) will be taking part in the South American shows next year. This will give them a chance to continue to develop their roles in the 'She' project and help to define the characters of Holly and Ustane.

'She' - The Film?
Caamora are in talks with a production company about a possible film version of 'She'. This would make a wonderful accompaniment to the CD and DVD releases already available.
Agnieszka Swita: It's really just an idea at the moment, but we have been talking about some excellent locations for filming. This would also give us a chance to go for a 'fully theatrical' performance of the show.
Caamora on TV
During their stay in Bolivia Clive Nolan and Agnieszka Swita appeared on a 'magazine programme' on Bolivian television. Keep and eye on the Caamora Myspace site, and part of this may appear at some point.
Clive Nolan: It was a bizarre experience, and I found myself sitting behind a large fluffy panda, who I believe may have been the star of the show..;)
Mixes finished!
Finally Caamora has packed up and moved out of Thin Ice Studio with a large sack of mixes and masters for the forthcoming ‘She’ CDs and DVDs.
Clive Nolan: "It's an enormous relief to have finally completed this major project. Sitting in the studio listening to the last mixes from the DVD soundtrack, I suddenly realised that we are really done! Hard to believe."
Due to various problems, the final Caamora Thin Ice sessions were delayed, so 'She' will be released about a month later than expected. Worth the wait though: there are plenty of different formats to choose from - CD, Digipack, Vinyl, DVD, and even a box set with even more extras!
Agnieszka Swita: The Box Set Bonus Disk gave us a great opportunity to re-create some of the ‘piano and voice’ performances Clive and I did during last year. There will be six special performances of Caamora songs, and some extra interview footage.
'She' live
Well, we finally did it! 'She' was performed live in front of a packed house in Katowice. It was a serious challenge, which involved up to 25 people on stage as well as technicians and camera crews. But it all came together on the night. Check out the comments of some of the key performers.
The official She premiere
The band will perform 'She' project on 31st October 2007 at the Wyspianski Theatre, Katowice, Poland. The musical version of 'She' is based on the classic novel of the same name by Victorian adventure writer H. Rider Haggard.
The concert will be filmed for the future DVD release which will accompany the 2 CD album, set for release on 21st January 2008. This represents the culmination of the last two years' work, and will feature a host of musicians as well as eye catching visuals and dramatic stage show.
Clive Nolan: "We still don't know exactly how this show will turn out; there are many ideas on the table and things are developing all the time. Whatever happens, it's going to be a terrific event - not to be missed!"
Christina adds her voice!
The Magenta singer has agreed to fill the final guest vocalist slot for the 'She' project. After a recent meeting, and some impromptu singing, it became clear that she was the ideal person for the role of Ustane. Christina was enthusiastic about the project and keen to try something a little different.
The cast for the four main characters looks as follows:
Ayesha - Agnieszka Swita
Leo - Clive Nolan
Holly - Alan Reed (Pallas)
Ustane - Christina Booth (Magenta)
Agnieszka Swita: "It's great to know, after all this time, to be able to put a face and a voice to the other roles. It's another important step forward."
Canada dates confirmed
Caamora will be playing two concerts in Canada:
Clive and Agnieszka will be playing a full set of around two hours, and there will be no support act. The Caamora performance will feature songs from Arena, Strangers on a Train and Nolan/Wakeman as well as material from the 'She' project, and some specially written songs for their tour.
Clive Nolan: "We're both looking forward to taking Caamora to Canada for the first time. I'd like to thank Robert Dansereau for making this visit possible."
South America dates confirmed
Caamora will be visiting South America again in May. They are headlining a festival in Buenos Aires as well as making appearances with numerous musicians in Argentina and Chile. Check the tour guide for concert details. They will also be taking the opportunity to promote the 'She' project with plenty of personal appearances and interviews.
Clive Nolan: "I always love visiting South America to play. The warmth and enthusiasm out here is incredible."
Alan Reed
Pallas vocalist Alan Reed has signed on to play the part of Holly in the ‘She’ project. Nolan and Reed have worked together in the past on the second Strangers on a Train album and more recently they were seen together on stage with rock band Neo.
Clive Nolan: "This is great news for Caamora, because I know that Alan will bring his own special brand of drama and power to the vocals."
Drummer for 'She'
Scott Higham has signed on for the position of Drummer in the 'She' project. He is currently a member of heavy rock band ShadowKeep and is recording an album with them at Clive's Thin Ice Studio. In the past he has played for artists such as Angel Witch, Metallic Blue and Euphoria, and is currently a drum tutor. Scott recently dropped into Thin Ice Studio and put down some drum tracks on a few Caamora songs...
Agnieszka Swita: "We really felt a new energy surging through the Caamora
material. Clive and I are looking forward to working with Scott".
