I would recommend his company to anyone looking for this sort of service, he does an outstanding and thoroughly professional job." Graham Eames, Sales DirectorAurum Press. "Clive listens, asks questions [probing and polite], and then listens some more. He has a natural rapport with gifted and even 'difficult' talent and is incredibly dedicated to his clients and the success of ventures in which they are taking part. His is practical and charming while remaining in touch with the artistic side of his own temperament." Tim Isaac, Chairman, Ogilvy Mather, Asia Pacific. "Clive Conway makes things happen. What's more, he is full of ideas." Will Wyatt, former Head of Documentaries and Managing Director BBC. "Clive and I have worked together for many years to develop the very successful Oxford Flute Summer School. Now though his own business, Clive Conway Productions, occupies much of his time he is still a valued Consultant for the summer school. His business is very high profile, working as he does with world leaders and internationally influential politicians as well as actors and musicians. He has much to contribute to any field of endeavour." Janet Way, Artistic Director, Oxford Flute Summer School. "I have known Clive Conway for more than a decade.He is that rare bird, a committed professional musician (a flautist) who also has a head for business matters. He has a sure sense of people and of issues in which the general public will be interested enough to pay real money in order to learn more. It's clear from a glance at his list of speakers that he's
enlisted some of the highest profile public speakers in the land. And he chooses appropriate venues for such appearances, ranging from university assembly rooms to the Royal Festival Hall. Clive is driven by a burning desire to share with the man in the street the talents and inspiration of such impressive public figures as Tony Benn and Desmond Tutu, not to mention Henry Blofeld and Richard Dawkins. He gets his "buzz" from bringing people of like minds together to produce an exciting event, be it a High Table debate or a major artistic production such as a recital combining great music and fine poetry or prose delivered by performers of the highest calibre." Humphrey Burton, former Head of Music and Arts at BBC Television
Biographer of Leonard Bernstein, Yehudi Menuhin and William Walton"

Prof. Dr. Anders LJUNGAR-CHAPELON, International Tutor in Flute, RNCM, Flautist & researcher Malmö Academy of Music, Lund University, Sweden, Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM), Manchester, England


‘The second performance of Admission: One Shilling with star actress Patricia Routledge and international concert pianist Piers Lane also received a standing ovation and very high audience acclaim. Again many thanks for making this project possible in Belgium! It was so good working together with your company and I really hope we can get some more Belgian bookings for this show. The company was so great and down to earth and the theatre much enjoyed working on this project.’

We are so sad to hear that Dame Patricia Routledge has passed away at 96. We had the pleasure of working with her many times 💜

Best known and loved as Hyacinth Bucket in Keeping Up Appearances, she brought so much laughter and joy to millions. Her agent shared that she “died peacefully in her sleep this morning, surrounded by love.”

Even into her 90s, her passion for performing never faded, and it’s beautiful how new generations are still discovering her through her unforgettable roles.

She will be so deeply missed — by those who knew her, and by the countless fans whose lives she touched with her talent and charm.

Rest in peace, Dame Patricia 💐

Often described as the compère beyond compare, but before becoming a fully-fledged playwright, panellist, performer and stalwart of the Edinburgh Festival, Arthur worked as a road sweeper, dustman, market researcher, teacher and advertised chicken burgers in supermarkets dressed as a fox.

A career in comedy was the only one that could follow a build up like that. He was one of many stand-up performers on the alternative comedy scene in the Eighties.

Twenty years on he still performs in much the same manner, perhaps ironically, he now describes himself as a "semi-professional" comedian.

To BBC radio and TV audiences, his career has been split between appearing on top quiz shows and fronting the funny section in Loose Ends. On TV, he's been a regular Grumpy Old Man and Countdown wordsmith.

His plays include the award-winning An Evening with Gary Lineker, My Summer with Des and The Bed Show. He has presented Radio 4’s Excess Baggage and Radio 2’s The Smith Lectures and is a regular guest on Loose Ends. He describes himself as Radio 4’s “bit of rough”.
