Clive’s musical education began at Bristol Cathedral School and continued at home with a piano and singing teacher mother. During a commercial career, mainly in London with Voluntary Service Overseas and Prudential plc, he developed his love for the works of the great composers in the capital’s concert halls and opera houses. Since his retirement in 2000 he has reviewed for local Midland newspapers covering festivals in Coventry, Warwick, Leamington, Stratford and Longborough and completed a degree at Warwick University. Involvement in local politics, taking morning swims in Kenilworth and maintaining Morgan sports cars are favourite hobbies.
