Eye of the Eagle Greeted With Surprised Reactions (15th Oct 1998)

Performed in Norwich Cathedral with the help of a range of vocalists, including a choir, the performance was part of a mainstream music festival.

An album is to be launched very soon, watch here for further news about this collaboration.
