Starsailor with Strings: Live from Liverpool

As part of their 25th anniversary celebrations, Starsailor are set to release their first official live album, ‘Starsailor with Strings: Live from Liverpool’, due out 3rd October via East West / Parlophone.

Available on CD and limited edition Red recycled vinyl LP.

Recorded at Liverpool’s prestigious Tung Auditorium, the album captures a one-off performance with a string ensemble at the venue’s state-of-the-art, acoustically optimised concert hall and features the full original four-piece line-up of James Walsh, James Stelfox, Ben Byrne, and Barry Westhead with additional guitars from Tony Foster (Spiritualized).

The ensemble was conducted by Joe Duddell, renowned composer and arranger whose credits include New Order, Elbow, James, and Richard Hawley.

The result is effectively a live ‘best of’ – featuring lush new arrangements of fan favourites like Alcoholic, Four To The Floor, Good Souls and Silence Is Easy, the album also includes a stunning cover of Jealous Guy along with further tracks from across their catalogue of the past 25 years.
