North Sea Radio Orchestra

This early evening show will be one of only two live performances from North Sea Radio Orchestra to celebrate the release of fifth album ‘Special Powers’, their first studio album since 2016’s ‘Dronne’. Since 2002, North Sea Radio Orchestra has been the vehicle for the compositions of band leader Craig Fortnam, with the ensemble changing shape and form along the way.

From initially rehearsing and performing in old churches, secreted away in the heart of the City Of London, they have since taken their work to clubs, Freakzone sessions, festivals, opera houses and libraries. In 2017, they collaborated with John Greaves (Henry Cow) and Annie Barbazza on new arrangements of songs from Robert Wyatt’s album ‘Rock Bottom’ which were performed live at Rock in Opposition festival and in a special recorded performance for Radio France.
