We have been amazed at the response to our global live-stream concert on Saturday. We hoped that in making something genuinely live, visually unrehearsed and obviously a bit rough around the edges, we would get across some of the energy and spirit of a real gig. It was genuinely exciting and nerve-racking to make and this seems to have connected with everyone in these unreal and bleak times. There were 6200 live links and so we estimate a worldwide viewing audience of anything from 10-25,000.
The background to the whole event was also captured by WDR for a documentary film to be screened in December.
The stream has now moved to https://www.themill.tv/ where it will be available to watch in a pay-to-view format for a while.

Now we move to the release of the redux of the Carnival album on November 20th. Today we have the re-release of the BD3 video, originally filmed by Matt Stanley on an extremely cold night in Bradford in the winter of 2005-6, and now with the newly mixed audio.
We are taking pre-orders for the book-pack album HERE
