Clive Kelly

After starting his career on board ship, Clive opened a music club in 1959 in Liverpool at the time of the Beatles and the Cavern Club. His hippy lifestyle and love of rhythm and blues music led to an interest in Indian lifestyles and he eventually spent time with tribal people in the Amazon, which changed his views on life.

i first met captain kelly in london and having both lived in brazil for many years, had many things to talk about. i have nothing but the upmost respect for this man, for his dedication in bringing the plight of the tribal people of the amazon to the eyes of the world and his on-going battle to save the seas from such things as pollution and dynamite fishing. keep up the good work me ol china. proud to call you a friend!

I have known Clive Kelly for more than 40 years, he introduced me to Eric Clapton who taught me to bend a guitar string when I was just 17.
Clive recognised the dangers of Global Warming more than two decades ago and he was an ambassador and pioneer campaigning to protect the world from ourselves. He has devoted his adult life to not only the protection and plight of the South American Indians but to the ecological devestation caused by man's ignorance and greed.
There is no one more qualified or rightful to talk, demonstrate and educate the modern world on issues that are essential to the future survival of this planet or on the history, way of life and culture of one of the most fascinating and gifted tribes of people in the Universe.
