Steve Harley has announced a special one-off show in Birmingham in November, where he will perform the first two Cockney Rebel albums – The Human Menagerie and The Psychomodo – in their entirety.
The albums, released in 1973 and 1974 respectively, will be played in sequence, back to back, with accompaniment by the Orchestra Of The Swan and their Chamber Choir.
Harley explains: “The albums were both heavily orchestrated, and I’m bringing the original arranger, Andrew Powell, with me to conduct The Orchestra Of The Swan and their Chamber Choir, all complementing my eight-piece rock band.
“There will be almost 50 players on stage, and Sebastian, Death Trip, Ritz and other big productions will be played in their original format. To say I am excited would be a massive understatement.”
Show details are as follows:
7.30PM, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24
SYMPHONY HALL, BIRMINGHAM
TICKETS £37.50/£42.50
