about

To celebrate/commiserate a remarkable 20 years performing together, in September 2013 Belshazzar’s Feast recorded their first live album, finally capturing in a recording what sell-out audiences have been enjoying for two decades.

The album was recorded by engineer and co-producer Andy Bell over two consecutive nights at The Pound in Corsham, Wiltshire. This intimate venue brought its own atmosphere to the shows which involved huge dollops of audience participation, a key element of the Belshazzar’s Feast live experience. The album features original artwork by famous English humourist and artist Simon Drew, referencing the Biblical source of the band’s name.

Release date: 7th April 2014. (Unearthed/distributed by PIAS).

Belshazzar's Feast UK

‘They can do things with a squeeze-box and an oboe that can break your heart.’ (Independent on Sunday). Wickedly inventive & beloved musicians Paul Sartin & Paul Hutchinson have superlative ability, wit, rapport and depth of experience. Their music is an inspired mix of classical, pop, music-hall and of course traditional folk music, all laced with the duo’s wry humour. ... more

a friend introduced me to this album two winters ago, and it's very quickly become a staple in my household (it isn't the holiday season until sing we all merrily plays). the tracks that particularly strike me though are heading for home, the bear song, and the old churchyard - the way the world cycles on, the turning of the wheel, life and death in a beautiful dance. we could despair that our time is short, but we seek joy and love again and again. I love this album. sophie
