BIG BIG TRAIN - English Electric (Part One)

Across eight brand new songs, Big Big Train takes the listener on a journey across the landscape of England, from the mining towns of the north, to the chalk hills of the south. Along the way, extraordinary stories are told of hedgehoppers, art-forgers, inland navigators, miners and men of industry; of people who dream of the daylight but are given up to the depths. English Electric is a celebration of the people that work on, and under, the land and who made the hedges and the fields, the docks, the towns and the cities. On English Electric, Big Big Train (Andy Poole / Dave Gregory / David Longdon / Greg Spawton / Nick D?Virgilio) are joined by a brass band and a string quartet and by a number of special guest musicians including Louis Philippe, Rachel Hall (Stackridge), Danny Manners (Robert Wyatt, Cathal Coughlan) and Andy Tillison (The Tangent).
