Merchants of Light

by Big Big Train

supported by

Gedfan Of course, it has to be East Coast Racer.

RIP David.

Peter Jones Well, what can you say. BBT aim to put a particular sound out and they nail it every time. Favorite track: Experimental Gentlemen Part Two.

Tony Honour It’s been mentioned elsewhere. This is the best live album I’ve ever heard. To know we were in the audience too is a bonus. Favorite track: Swan Hunter.

Frankiemilia I have seen them at Loreley NOTP 2018 and it was magic. A night to remember ... still I enjoy it after nearly two weeks and this live compilation will help to stand the time until they come back to germany :)
Favorite track: Folklore.

Colin Sumby I was expecting a new studio set but this will do quite handsomely. Stunning set well recorded.

grumbert beautful song, moves me to tears. Absolute tour de force by the greatly missed David Longdon Favorite track: Swan Hunter.
