Philharmonic (Uk)

This stunning concert took place on the 23rd September 2023, the first performance by any incarnation of Barclay James Harvest with a symphony orchestra to take place in the UK since 1973. Joining JLBJH for this memorable concert was The Slaithwaite Philharmonic Orchestra, arranged and conducted by Benjamin Ellin. The performance featured classic BJH songs such as 'The Poet', 'After The Day', 'Mocking Bird', 'She Said', 'Galadriel', 'Poor Man's Moody Blues' and 'Hymn', newer pieces such as 'On Leave', along with two works not performed live since 1973, Woolly Wolstenholme's evocative 'Moonwater' (sung by guest vocalist Eleanor Sandars) and the epic and majestic 'Dark Now My Sky'. Mixed by Stephen W Tayler and previously released as part of a larger box set, this new 2CD edition offers the chance to experience this magical concert once again.
