CliveAid Comes to Norway
Both Norwegian and international artists play free for Cliveaid. Norwegian Thunderbolt is one of the headliners, together with Cruel (UK) and the local bands Krakow and Cat Call.”The mix of bands is very good, and we promise the audience will have an evening they’ll never forget. From Thunderbolts’ classic Heavy Metal to Krakows uncompromised Stoner Metal – there’ll be something for everyone. In addition we have got very positive response from one of the biggest Metal bands in Norway, whom we are waiting confirmation from.” The promoters won’t go into details about who this is, but can reveal that it is an Extreme Metal band who have been around for many years. ”Clive Burr said he would visit Bergen for the gig, as long as his health permits it of course,” says Frode Kilvik.
The Norwegian radio rockshow Pyro will attend as MC’s, and will also be DJ’ing throughout the night after the gig. ”We have been wanting to go to England for Cliveaid for a long time, and obviously it is a lot easier when Cliveaid comes to Bergen. We are honored to participate, and are really looking forward to this night,” says Pyro’s Totto Mjelde.
About Cliveaid:
Cliveaid was founded in 2004 as a onetime gig to raise money for the original Iron Maiden drummer Clive Burr, who is suffering from MS. The idea was to help Clive to a better life, and also to show him how much he means to the Rock world. The gig went beyond what anyone had imagined, and it was soon discovered that many, many more could be helped by the support and giving mindset of the Rock world. Now, Cliveaid is about supporting research on Multiple Schlerosis and teenage cancer.
