The show is accompanied by evocative images from Cash’s life on screen.

‘Clive captures my Grandfather JUST as he was’ – Caitlin Crowell -Granddaughter of Johnny Cash

‘Absolutely authentic to the point where it felt as if it wasn’t a tribute’ – Caitlin Crowell -Granddaughter of Johnny Cash

‘Clive sings moves and acts just like the ‘Man in Black.’ The Johnny Cash legend will continue….’ Lasse Lindfors – Author and lifelong friend of Johnny Cash
