Stephen Burch: Martin D35 acoustic guitar and vocals.
Recorded on a Zoom H5 with a mono signal from the mixing desk and stereo mics in the room.
The cover photo is by Anne Smidt.
The previous 2018 concert at the Kunsthaus is here:
thegreatpark.bandcamp.com/album/19-03-18-kunsthaus-essen-germany
Please note that there was no sound technician at the mixing desk throughout the concert and subsequently the microphone peaks at several parts during the couple of louder songs. This lasts just a few, brief moments but could not be removed as it was on both the mixing desk and room sources. Please listen to the version of 'Lover O Lover' for the worst of it. It is what it is.
Also, 'When I Was Single' was played acoustic in the middle of the room so naturally sounds different to the rest of the set.
Live recording of the complete concert at 1000Fryd in Aalborg in the north of Jutland. A very relaxed evening, with some excessive chatting from the stage and friends joining me for a couple of songs near the end.
Uhrskov;Andersen also played this night and they're here.
