Set list CD from the Spring Duo Tour 2018 featuring songs from the early years and albums of Show of Hands
A unique memorial concert in Exeter Cathedral, exactly 100 years after the first day of the Battle of the Somme. Poetry read by Jim Carter and Imelda Staunton. Also featuring Chris Hoban and The Lost Sound Chorus.
In Summer 2011 the ‘Longdogs’ were asked to select twenty songs they would most like to hear performed and re-recorded. A temporary recording studio was set up in deepest Suffolk at the house of our good friends Richard & Lin Patterson, and Steve and Phil took on the task of capturing eighteen of the songs in just two days with the help of engineer and producer Mark Tucker. A ‘house concert’ on the second night was recorded and there are three live songs from this session on the second CD. The songs are recorded simply with no extras, effects or overdubs.
