Creative Team

  • Clive Jones
  • David Armitt
  • Kevin Brooks

Production Team

  • Kelvin Beer - Producer
  • Michelle Bunyard - (creative director)

 

We are a team of many professionals in our own right, all specialists in our own fields and all from very diverse backgrounds working together to produce one of the most spectacular shows to hit the stage in recent years. 

Clive Jones - Clive is now successfully teamed with Producer / Writer Kevin Brooks and together they have written and produced a considerable portfolio including rock, pop, and commercial songs. Clive’s career began in the soul band Pesky Gee! In 1966, and his first album was produced by the late Gus Dugeon. In 1970 Pesky Gee! then became the cult progressive rock band ‘Black Widow’. Their classic album “Sacrifice” (produced by Roy Thomas Baker of Queen fame) is still regarded as the ultimate black magic album. Clive penned the single “Come to the Sabbat” on the album and it is still a huge global success, and is a popular cover for today’s metal bands.

Spurred on by his performance at the legendary 1971 Isle of Wight festival and after 5 ‘Black Widow’ albums, Clive then formed and fronted the very strange and theatrical “Agony Bag” writing all the songs for their album “Feelmazumba” plus the much covered single “Rabies is a Killer”.

Today Clive is still in demand and is as busy as ever! As well as maintaining audience contact through his weird one man show ‘Dr Pesky’, he writes songs and plays Sax & Flute on the albums of some of today’s leading edge metal bands. These include Death SS, Abiogenesi, and Taxi. In 2003 several of the worlds leading rock bands came together to produce a tribute album to Black Widow, largely as a tribute to Clive who was asked to write the musical introduction to the album. The Italian rock press continues to maintain close contact with Clive, and his career today is followed in minute detail by thousands of fans around the world. This is evidenced by his recent release in the US (2004), with a reformed ‘Agony Bag’ and appearances on US and Russian rock radio shows.

Kevin Brooks- aka K - Boy
K-Boy’s background can’t be faulted. He was signed to EMI Records as an artist under the name 'Release' during which time he developed his writing and production skills. He then joined Joey Negro (Dave Lee) and Andrew Livingstone, with whom his studio expertise was employed to engineer the hit singles "BAMBOOGIE", Jakatta’s "AMERICAN DREAM", "THE REAL LIFE", "MUST BE THE MUSIC", and 911’s "MORE THAN A WOMAN". Other tracks that have received the K-Boy magic include: "OVER YOU" by Warren Clarke, "BAD HABIT" by One Phat Deeva, Lottie’s mix of Jamiroqaui’s "LOVE FOOLOSIPHY", Lionel Richie’s "DON’T STOP THE MUSIC" and "ANGEL STREET" by M-People.K-Boy’s most successful collaboration has to be his co-productions with Mark Wilkinson (ex Problem Kids) and Paul Jackson (top DJ and previous Ministry resident) under the name Kidstuff. Together they have pulled off some of the coolest sounds around with their first two releases, "ALRIGHT" and "JETFUNK" on Fluential, which were caned by the likes of Pete Tong, Seb Fontaine, Tenaglia, Lottie and Carl Cox. "DO WHAT YOU WANNA" on Loaded and " KOMINSKY PARK " on Honchos have kept the fires burning. Kidstuff’s remix credits include The Beginerz, Starchaser, and Alison Limerick.  K-Boy has been involved in various high profile collaborations and he is in constant demand by other top producers who employ his studio expertise to gloss up their own products. His own tracks -such as the brilliant "SEXY" and "SESAME", released through Superbunny Records, are cited by many DJ’s as their favourite tunes of recent times. He routinely produces re-mixes for the likes of Kylie, Liberty X, Atomic Kitten, TLC and Supersister.

David Armitt-  Has played, written and directed for amateur theatre for a number of years including two UK premiers.  He is also one half of the singing duo ‘The Dulcet Tones’ who sing for charity shows and plays acoustic guitar  - badly!  

Although not formally published David’s family musicals have been performed by amateur groups in and around London, Newcastle and Ireland by several amateur companies.  He is well known for his off-the-wall scripts ranging from mock gothic in ‘Fanto’s Monster Panto’, and the sci-fi based ‘Beasts In the Wood’ to more traditional offerings such as ‘Robin’s Mum Crusoe’, ‘Sleeping Beauty’ and ‘Cinderella’.  More recently David has written comedy sketches for charity shows.
