| Performance Notes | Steve Harley, accompanied by Cockney Rebel alongside the Orchestra of the Swan and their Chamber Choir, will perform seminal albums The Human Menagerie and The Psychomodo in their entirety.
Cockney Rebel's debut album The Human Menagerie was released in 1973 and immediately marked Steve as an original and distinctive artist and Cockney Rebel as a versatile and charming band. 1974's follow-up was the carnival-esque The Psychomodo further established them as an eclectic musical tour-de-force.
The albums were both heavily orchestrated, and Im bringing the original arranger, Andrew Powell, with me to conduct The Orchestra of the Swan and their Chamber Choir, all complementing my 8-piece rock band. There will be almost 50 players on stage, and Sebastian, Death Trip, Ritz and other big productions will be played in their original format. To say I am excited about the new shows would be a massive understatement. Steve Harley.
Guests in the audience included Marc Almond and Holly Johnson.
Concert was very well received and included lots of talking between items by Steve Harley about his life. |
