Uplifting

Chris told 4BR: "Once again all the players rose superbly to the stiffest of musical and stamina challenges for any standard of band, and it resulted in the most uplifting of recording sessions.

The band never ceases to be astonishing in its individual and collective levels of performance and the finished results will undoubtedly be outstanding."
