At the age of sixteen, Nolan became the youngest musician in England (at the time) to gain an A.L.C.M. composition diploma from the London College of Music.[2]

In 1982, Nolan won the cup and two medals at the composers competition in the Cheltenham Music Festival.[2]

Nolan is a music graduate, holding both a B Mus and M Mus. He played violin, cello and viola, although his main study while at university was composition, orchestration, musical arrangement and conducting.[2]

In 2008 Nolan's rock opera, She, was filmed for DVD in Katowice, Poland.[3] In 2010 the show was again performed in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Since then, Nolan has started the Caamora Theatre Company,[4]

Musicals

Besides his progressive rock ventures, Nolan has written a rock-opera, She based upon the novel by Sir H Rider Haggard. In 2008, it was filmed for DVD in Katowice, Poland.[3] In 2010, the show was again performed in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Since then Nolan has started the Caamora Theatre Company,[4] and turned She into a full musical, which was performed for the first time at The Playhouse in Cheltenham in 2012.[5]

Nolan's musical Alchemy finished its run at the Jermyn Street Theatre in the West End of London in August 2014. The libretto is based on the composer's original story.[2] He created a sequel entitled King's Ransom in 2017.[6] Both musicals have now taken the first step towards becoming full theatrical-release feature films.

Writing

He wrote the lyrics for the 43-minute metal song "Crimson II" by Edge of Sanity, which came out in 2003.

In 2005, Nolan wrote a novel called Mephisto Bridge which is as yet unpublished.[7]
