Really humble yet talented musicians, I was in awe the whole time at the music they were creating with just 2 of them. A lovely intimate and cosy gig at a fab venue!

It's always a joy to see Blackheart Orchestra. Chrissy and Rick give 100%;this show was no exception. Anyone that hasn't seen this band should look out for them and see them, you won't be disappointed.

TBO are always engaging and their music is always original and delivered with feeling. The way they combine to use so many instruments is wonderful and there are few duos that can match their musicality.

About The Blackheart Orchestra
The Blackheart Orchestra are multi-award winning, multi-instrumentalists
Chrissy Mostyn and Rick Plkington. They comprise a two person ‘orchestra’
playing up to 13 instruments in their unique live show. From their onstage
‘musical space station’ they create highly emotional contemporary rock music
featuring a multitude of sounds and atmospheres from acoustic and electric
guitars, bass and bowed guitar to piano, organ, vintage synthesisers,
omnichord, melodica and electric percussion.
They have been described as a modern day Pink Floyd with influences from
as far afield as Kate Bush, Portishead and Cocteau Twins to modern
composers Steve Reich and Philip Glass. They combine their folk and rock
roots with electronica and classical with Genesis founder Steve Hackett
calling their music “Powerful and inspiring”.
Their last two albums both achieved Top 20 positions with latest album Hotel
Utopia charting at #13 in the UK and winning Best British Album, Best Song
and Best Female Vocalist in the USA Progressive Rock Awards. The
Blackheart Orchestra currently sits on six Best Albums of The Year lists in the
UK.
