SPQR (LIVE FROM SALA SINOPOLI, ROMA)

S.P.Q.R. was recorded on February 3, 2024, at Rome’s Sala Sinopoli, marking Steve Hogarth’s return to the city for his first live show there in eight years. Once again, he was accompanied by Italian progressive band RanestRane, who provided acoustic instrumentation with harp, mandolin, harmonium and tablas. For this show, they were also joined by the Flowing Chords choir. In a uniquely intimate and atmospheric setting, he reimagines Marillion classics and solo material through cinematic arrangements. Available for retail for the first time on 2CD+Blu-ray, and 3LP Gatefold, S.P.Q.R. offers the full concert experience, including songs such as “Thank You Whoever You Are”, “Afraid of Sunlight”, “Estonia”, and “Go!”, alongside a haunting rendition of Leonard Cohen’s “Famous Blue Raincoat”. It’s a love letter to Rome and an unforgettable journey for fans everywhere.
