(RAM) In August and September 2023, multi-national progressive rockers Big Big Train undertook their longest ever tour to date, performing 17 shows over 21 days across nine countries in the UK and Europe, and concluding with two triumphant concerts at London's prestigious Cadogan Hall.
Those two concerts are now immortalized as 'A Flare On The Lens', released this past Friday on InsideOutMusic. To celebrate, a clip of the band performing 'The Connection Plan' has been released.
Lead vocalist Alberto Bravin comments: "We're delighted to unveil 'A Flare On The Lens', which captures our two shows last September at Cadogan Hall perfectly in my view. It was the end of a pretty arduous and intense tour. But we gelled better and better every single night and there was amazing energy in the hall for both our London performances."
Drummer Nick D'Virgilio adds: "Before last year, the longest consecutive run of shows that Big Big Train had ever performed was six. By undertaking the 17 shows last August and September, we really bonded closer than ever before, both musically and personally, and that comes across with this release. And now we get to do it all again from next week!"
