“This release features almost 3 1/2 hours of video and audio from two special shows at the prestigious South Wales venue. The limited edition release will come with 2 DVDs and 2 full audio CDs presenting music from both concerts.”
“Our annual Acapela show has now become a much anticipated event by our fans and also by ourselves. The venue is a stunning converted Welsh Chapel which provides a unique atmosphere and as there is an amazing Yamaha grand piano on site it would be a crime not to use it. We decided to adopt a stripped-down approach and to present the songs in a unique way, which just takes the music in a different direction. It’s very liberating, but can also be intimidating, as there is nowhere to hide in such an intimate venue. We also have a cellist and an oboe player which also makes the songs feel so different.
We’ve been fortunate to have the services of some amazing special guests so besides performing music from every Magenta album, we’ve had the rare opportunity of performing songs from our many solo projects.
This includes several tracks from Christina’s two solo albums and some tracks from Chris Fry’s instrumental album “Composed”. I finally got to perform songs from my Kompendium album “Beneath the Waves” and also some tracks from my Sanctuary albums. I’ve waited many years to be able to play some of these songs live and to be able to do that with my good friends Steff Rhys Williams, Pete Jones (Tiger Moth Tales and Camel), Angharad Brinn and Nigel Hopkins has been a huge thrill to finally do the songs justice.” – Rob Reed
