Marillion - With Friends At St.David's (2021)

Following their spellbinding debut performance at the Royal Albert Halll in 2017, Marillion embarked on a new creative journey. Inspired by performing with their Friends from the Orchestra and the reaction that the live collaboration had created, the band, along with producer Michael Hunter, reimagined a collection of songs from their extensive back catalogue. The resulting music welcomed the rich, deep textural soundscapes of strings, flute and French horn into the mix.
At the end of 2019 the ensemble, eleven musicians in total including the string quartet In Praise of Folly, flautist Emma Halnan and French Horn player Sam Morris, took the music on the road on a tour that would play to sold out venues across Europe, concluding with another two amazing nights at the Royal Albert Hall.
With Friends at St David's joins the tour in Cardiff at a venue the band had last played some twenty years earlier.
Over two hours of beautifully crafted music and powerful performance, the film presents the full set, including songs from across the last thirty years of the band's repertoire.
