Welcome to the Front Row Club!

This recording was made as a reference for ourselves while touring and as an archive of our live performance - it was never planned to be released. We have taken the original recording and 'mastered' it to provide a better sonic experience, however it has not been re-touched or overdubbed in any way. This recording is provided "as is" - warts and all - for your listening pleasure, so please keep this in mind when listening!

The Front Row Club is intended for those with "Front Row" passion for the band and it's touring history. And, of course, the future! Thank you for sharing your passion with us.

 

Michael Hunter became involved in our 'Brave' project as assistant engineer at Parr Street Studios, Liverpool. He went on to work with us at the Racket Club and on tour, engineering studio recordings and assisting Mark Kelly with keyboard maintenance and programming. He has a voracious appetite for all things inspired or experimental, and therefore,  a natural choice of 'architect' for this venture.

'River' was composed and performed (no sequencers) by Mike and includes musical themes and effects lifted from our albums. This music was originally conceived to provide an ambience in the room to set up an atmosphere which would lead to the live performance of the 'Brave' album. As a consequence of its success on the tour, we had received a great many requests to make it available on CD.

After the initial pressing sold out, we had no plan of making this CD available again... that was, of course, until we decided to perform 'Brave' in its entirety in 2002. We couldn't have asked for a better excuse!
