BRAND NEW EP AND RECORDINGS FROM MISS HANNAH CLIVE COMING SOON...!!
Hannah Clive and the band are pleased to announce that her Myspace page is now happy to accept friend requests from genuine fans so please feel free to send us a request. That way you can receive personal updates from her and invitations to private gigs. We want you!!
"...I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE TRACKS I HAVE INCLUDED HERE ON MYSPACE. THEY ARE ALL THE FAVOURITES OF THE FANS, AS WELL AS MY OWN AND HAVE BEEN CHOSEN FOR THAT VERY REASON. YOU'VE REQUESTED TO HEAR THEM SO MANY TIMES SO HERE THEY ARE. THANKS FOR LISTENING AND FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT..." Hannah.
Having been raised in a family environment that centered on the Entertainment Industry - her father is John Clive (TV and Film actor/bestselling author) and her mother Carole Clive (BBC Television Production Assistant: Top of the pops etc); Hannah Clive knew from an early age,
the routine and hard work that would be necessary to excel and succeed in the Music Business.
As a child she was classically
trained both on the piano and the flute, playing recitals and also doing various bits of dramatic work; including when she
auditioned for and got a part in Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Evita" which ran in London's Theatre District, The West End. She did
the show for two years alongside her schoolwork.
She was also amongst her contemporaries the youngest ever recipient for the prestigious "Speech and
Drama Award - Grade 5" from the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.
From the tender age of just fifteen on, Hannah began the serious business of getting into the Music industry both recording
and singing professionally as well as singing live.
She has worked with the likes of Ray Charles, Chris De Burgh ("Blonde Hair Blue Jeans"), Orchestral
Manoeuvres In the Dark ("Walking On The Milky Way") and Right Said Fred featuring on tracks on their albums; two of which were Top Twenty hits in both the
UK and across Europe.
She was also in the band Animal Soup with Simon Townsend and Zak Starkey
We mustn't forget to mention the duets she has done with a myriad of different people including Dave
Gilmour and Ronan Keating at their personal invitation. The latter was a rendition of The Pogues classic "Fairytale In New
York" in front of a private audience which included both Mr Ronnie Wood, Slash, Julia Roberts and John Hurt.
She has played at all
sorts of noteworthy UK venues including the 606, Chelsea in 2006 alongside Mr Ronnie Wood; Johnny Dankworth and Cleo Laine's The Stables, Wavendon playing her own material at Jim Marshalls Birthday Bash aged seventeen; The Borderline; Ronnie Scotts; The Rock Garden etc.
Hannah has accompanied
tours both in the States (Roger Daltrey Sings The Music of Pete Townshend at just 21) and tours in England (Jools Holland,
Alison Moyet etc).
She's even played in a war zone: "...Well no-one else would go..it's alright we had a body-guard and he
was the local national Middleweight Boxing Champion!..".
Hannah had travelled first to Belgrade then on to Montenegro in the former Yugoslavia to perform at a benefit concert in aid
of Yugoslav children that were victims of war. Despite the certainty that the show would be played at an outdoor arena in the
middle of a war zone, the band played on to an ecstatic crowd of nearly 10,000 and the concert was simulcast to a radio
audience spanning both Western and Eastern Europe.
Hannah has been busily working away on her own material which she is about to unveil on what will be her first album
proper. Something her live fans have been asking for for a long time.
She has worked on it with a number of classic old skoolers who put in an appearance, as well as some exciting and gifted young musicians guesting too. Watch this space...!
The album is shaping up to be a unique
blend of pop and rock with the aid of guitar, classic songwriting and strong, soulful vocals that are sure to please.
Watch this space for more details.
Armed with a fresh new sound, a new approach
and of course, the new lineup, Hannah is about
to unveil her new material. Up until now....
she's just been getting warmed up.
Hannah has begun gigging with her new band at venues across London and is causing quite a stir...keep an eye out on her Myspace page for gig listings.
Hi my darling, I am so sorry I've been super sonic rubbish at coming to see you...I have been listening to your songs on your page and your voice just melts me, it's so beautiful. I'm going to tell as many people as I can to visit your page and listen! :o)
