Photograph by Neil PalfreymanBig Big Train has been nominated in three categories in the Progressive Music Awards 2016: best band, best live event for our London shows in August 2015 and best album for our new release, Folklore.We are up against the likes of Steven Wilson, David Gilmour, Dream Theater, King Crimson and Haken in these awards so it's a bit like being the Spartans at Thermopylae, only with not so many dangerous sharpened objects being pointed in our general direction. Nevertheless, please don't let the mighty hordes of fans from the other bands and artists put you off from voting for BBT in any of the categories should you be so minded.In any case, if you like progressive rock please take the time to vote for your favourites as the awards play an important part in helping to spread the word about prog rock into the wider media.In celebration of our nominations and as a taster of our live shows (we'll soon be announcing some gigs for 2017), here is.Voting for the Progressive Music Awards is. This blog post is about a song called Brooklands which is the penultimate track on the Folklore album.Brooklands is the first ever motor-racing circuit. It is located near the villages of Weybridge and Esher in Surrey, England.
There was an aerodrome inside the circuit which was bombed in the war and consequently Brooklands fell out of use as a circuit in the 1930's. Brooklands had huge banked corners, 100 feet wide, and some of them still remain. In fact, the whole place now looks like a crumbling time-capsule with the eerie remains of the circuit hidden in the trees. The song called Brooklands is about a true-life racing driver called John Cobb. Whilst he was a quiet and reserved man he had a love for speed and racing. He was born near the site of the race track and went from being a keen spectator to being a competitor. He went on to become the dominant driver at Brooklands in the days of the and the driving their ‘Blowers’is some jaw-dropping footage of Cobb and racing at Brooklands in 1932.
As you will see if you watch the film, these men were extraordinarily brave.Cobb went on to hold the ultimate track record at Brooklands with an average speed of nearly 144 miles per hour.Cobb broke several land and water speed records and continued with his record breaking attempts into middle-age. He died on Loch Ness in 1952 whilst attempting to break the water speed record. Cobb's beloved wife had died before him in 1948 after just a year of marriage. He had recently married again and his second wife was at the Loch when he crashed.The opening of the song sets the scene as John is driving to Loch Ness to attempt the water speed record. As he takes his boat out onto the water he remembers back to his young days at Brooklands and then his later life as a racer. These are the last memories he will think about.After the crash, the people of the local villages raised money for a memorial on the Loch side. Brooklands is about a man who is growing older and wonders, like many of us do: ‘where did all the time go?’ But John Cobb was determined to extract everything he could out of life and to lead the life he wanted to live right up to the end.
I imagine that Brooklands was a kind of heaven for him, it being the place that defined him and where he found himself.For those who want to read further about John Cobb, there is an excellent article about this reluctant hero.is well worth a visit. There is a motor museum and an aviation museum on site and a number of period buildings. It is still possible to walk around many areas of the banked circuit and imagine the cars racing. ‘A transit ofVenus occurs when the planet and Earth, whose paths round the Sun tilt atslightly different angles, line up exactly where their orbits cross. Thisoccurs only four times every 243 years, in pairs separated by eight years. Onlysix transits of Venus are known to have been observed (though claims are madefor earlier observations by Persian astronomers) with the last, in 2004,watched by millions who used telescopes to project images of the Sun's disc andthe dot of Venus on to cards or electronic monitors. After this year's, thenext will be in 2117 and then 2125.
When the previous pair occurred, QueenVictoria was on the throne.’. I first cameacross the transit when watching in 2004. People from Britainwill be very well aware of this television series which has been running on BBC TVsince 1957.
For most of its time, the Sky at Night was presented by anextraordinary chap called Sir Patrick Moore. Sir Patrick was an eccentric man,a very talented astronomer and musician and a gifted communicator. The BBCbroadcast a programme on the 2004 transit live from Sir Patrick’s house which wascalled Farthings. An excerpt from the programme can be seen(this may only be viewable in the UK.) The programme features theastrophysicist and guitarist who was a close friend of Sir Patrick. Sir Patrickhad a fascinating life and there were many stories that would have been worthtelling in song. In the end,The Transit of Venus became almost a love song.

Sir Patrick had only one loveaffair in his life, a woman called Lorna who was killed in the Second World War.Sir Patrick stated that he thought of Lorna every day, even in later life andthat he could love nobody else. In the song, the transit becomes a metaphor forLorna’s brief life, with Sir Patrick later setting a course for the stars and reachingout for far things.
One of my favourite Ridgeway tales concerns KingAlfred, one of the great heroes of English history who fought a battle on theRidgeway and defeated the Vikings there. Legend has it that you can hear himblowing the sounding stone which can be found near the Ridgeway (on Blowingstone Hill) to summon hismen. Alfred's stone can be heard at the start of the song. The sample for the blowing stone was provided by Simon Chadwick who is an expert on the early music and instruments of the British Isles. Simon has posted an interesting article on his website which includes video of him sounding the blowing stone.
As the year draws to a close, we wanted to say thank you to listeners for their support during 2015. The music industry is changing very quickly at the moment but one of the more positive aspects of the contemporary music scene is that bands and their listeners can be drawn very closely together. We feel very lucky in Big Big Train that there is such an amazing and friendly group of people who support us in so many different ways. Whether it is by buying our music and concert tickets, writing and posting reviews, talking to others about us or simply making the BBT forum such a friendly, lively and interesting place, it all helps to sustain our musical endeavours.We know that many listeners are sceptical about the ‘best of’ lists which are published at this time of year by magazines, websites and individuals.
However, for bands, these lists do provide a useful ‘weather vane’ to assess how things are going. It has been very encouraging for our gigs to appear on a number of lists as one of the year’s highlights and for BBT to feature in such a strong position in Prog magazine’s recent fan-voted list of greatest artists.
Results like this suggest we are making a wider impact and that things are heading in a positive direction.We are only too aware that it has been longer than two years since the last BBT studio album and we are happy to confirm that next couple of years will be very busy for us, with a new studio album, a double live album, an EP, a Blu-ray and more gigs all in the pipeline.We will share more detailed news with you about our activities as soon as we have it (starting very soon) but, in the meantime, thank you once again for your support.GregPage scans courtesy of Prog magazine. Apologies to those people who still keep an occasional eye on this blog for the lack of recent updates.I will do my best to write more blog posts in the autumn to share information about the new album. In the meantime, we are preparing for this summer's gigs and minor updates and new photos will most likely be on the band's or on my.In the meantime, to a round-up of recent news (includes information on the gigs and our recent nomination for a Progressive Music Award.)And (which includes fine art prints, t-shirts, polo shirts, badges, mugs and shopping bags.). As listeners to BBT may be aware, we are making a film of our rehearsals at Real World studios in August. The rehearsals are an important event for us as they will show BBT evolving from a studio-based band into a band which will be getting ready to play some shows, so we thought it would be good to have a visual record. As well as footage of the rehearsals, we want to include some bonus material on the DVD / Blu-Ray, including interviews and other items. Rather than a static interview with a single interviewer, we thought we might try to answer some questions from members of the very friendly BBT forum (join ) or from other BBT listeners.So, if there are any questions, we'd be happy to hear from you.
The only thing is, you will need to film yourself asking the question and send an email with the video file to us at. Ahead of our time at Real World and gigs next year, we popped to Enfield today for a fitting of in-ear monitors atNick has used in-ear monitors for many years but this was a new experience for the rest of us, and a slightly bizarre one.In-ear monitors need to sit very tightly inside the ear so that the musician can hear all frequencies.
This means that molds of the ear have to be taken around an impression of a small speaker which will sit on the ear drum.The fitting today involved a lot of poking around inside the ear like this. On the, Chris Allen posted a thread which asked: 'how did you discover Big Big Train?'
There were enough responses (150 or so individual ones) for some themes to emerge which I thought were worth some analysis and some brief comments.The first thing of interest was the wide diversity of different channels for finding out about music. There were more than 20 different routes to finding out about BBT.Five main routes stood out from the others. These were:. Personal recommendations from friends or family (16%).
Prog and Classic Rock covermount CD's (12%). Links to other bands (12%). Internet radio shows (12%). Prog rock websites (11%).
Photograph by Willem KlopperQuite a lot happening for Big Big Train at the moment so thought I'd do a blog post just to draw some of the threads together.First of all, I want to say, on behalf of the band, a heartfelt thank-you to everybody who took the time to vote for us in the Progressive Music Awards which were held at Kew gardens on the 3rd September. We were delighted to be nominated, even more thrilled to be invited and stunned to win the Breakthrough award.
It was an extraordinary night at a beautiful location where everybody, wherever they are in the prog firmament, was friendly and approachable. All of the musicians are fans of progressive music and there was a lovely sense of 'we're all in this together' which has seen the genre through some tough times. We would especially like to thank Jerry, Jo, Russell, Philip and the other writers and staff at Prog magazine for their vision in launching the magazine and the awards. Again, they are also fans and, like the musicians, they are trying to run a business in difficult times for the publishing industry.Team Rock Radio has tonight broadcast a show on the awards including many interviews and excerpts from speeches and it's well worth a listen. It should be available on the service very soon. One of the few disadvantages of winning an award is that you are ushered backstage for interviews and photos so we actually missed much of the ceremony. Philip Wilding's radio show has helped to fill in some of the gaps for us.In the next couple of weeks we will be releasing two new CD's - English Electric: Full Power and the Make Some Noise EP.
The former is the ultimate statement of our English Electric releases and the latter provides an affordable option for listeners who already have English Electric Parts One and Two and want to hear the additional songs. Alongside the new CD's, English Electric Part Two will be released on vinyl through the label. The double vinyl album features the four new tracks from English Electric: Full Power.We have commenced work on a new album as well as the Station Masters retrospective and Nick returns to England at the end of September for some more recording. We are also spending a week at Real World next year to try out our planned live show. We are committed to playing a show as soon as we can but want to do a full rehearsal with the brass and string musicians in a controlled environment just to iron out any teething problems. We will be filming the Real World event as it's an extraordinary place to play and we would like to show you what we are up to. All being well, we'll follow Real World with a gig or two and then we hope to be playing live on a more regular basis after that.We hope you enjoy the new releases and, once again, thank you for supporting Big Big Train.
Ahead of their show at, I've embarked on a listen through all of the Van Der Graaf back-catalogue.I haven't yet reached their greatest works (Pawn Hearts, Godbluff, Still Life) but even this far in, it has been an extraordinary musical journey.It must be 30 years since I first heard Refugees, and I still find it to be an astonishingly beautiful song. House With No Door is almost as gorgeous. Of course, alongside these two languid songs there are tracks with furious riffing and brutal power. Sometimes these can be a challenging listen, but even at their most difficult, Van Der Graaf always had great melodies (a good example being After the Flood where, amongst all the doom and gloom that the band could muster, there are still many sing-out-loud moments.)My favourite of these early songs is Lost, an epic song about a failed relationship ('I know we'll never dance like we used to') where the band achieve the perfect combination of complex and challenging music alongside glorious anthemic passages.Pawn Hearts is next on my listening list. I can't wait to hear it again. The idea for this song started with a short newspaper article. The article was about the Natural History Museum and had a sub-heading of Curator of Butterflies which caught my eye.
I was also interested in the final paragraph where Blanca Huertas, the Museum's Curator Lepidoptera describes how, as a teacher, she can explain 'everything with butterflies: genetics, taxonomy, camouflage, life and death'. As you can see from the scan of the cutting above, I underlined the final three words of the article. I tore the article out of the paper and placed it in the trunk where I keep ideas for songs.When writing began for English Electric I opened the trunk, came upon the article and started work on a song which I called Curator of Butterflies. The chord sequence was composed on an acoustic 12-string guitar with the second string tuned up to 'C'. The melody was written very much with David's vocal abilities in mind. Much of the later musical arrangement was by Dave Desmond (brass) and Danny (piano.) Dave Gregory also came up with one of the main musical motifs of the song so this is very much a track where a lot of people have made significant contributions.Many of the songs on English Electric have a story to tell but this one is a more philosophical piece. There is a female character in the song but I must stress that this person is not Blanca Huertas. I do not know Ms Huertas and would not presume to write about her. However, that short article about Ms Huertas was the direct inspiration for the lyrics and, in particular, those final three words: 'life and death'.
The song is about the fine line between those two extremes. As I grow older I become more aware of my mortality and the mortality of my family and friends. The knowledge that we hold about our mortality means that life can be a beautiful burden.Curator of Butterflies is the final song on English Electric Part Two and therefore brings to a close this series of pieces about the songs on the.
We do hope listeners find some music to enjoy on the album and we would like to thank all listeners to our music for their support and interest. We would especially like to thank the wonderful community of music lovers which has come together on the. If you can judge a band by its listeners, then BBT is a good band.There will be a special double CD edition of English Electric later on in 2013. This will feature three additional songs and we will revise the track sequencing in the light of it being a double album rather than two separate releases. As we have made clear elsewhere, the three additional songs will also appear on an EP release and will be available for separate purchase as downloads so we are giving listeners various opportunities to purchase the extra songs without feeling the need to buy the albums again. We are also in discussion with about releasing EE2 on vinyl (with the additional songs on the 4th side of a double release.)We will tell you about these releases and other things when there is news. 'The permanent way' is a Victorian expression which means the finished track and bed of a railway. I am sure it was intended to be a utilitarian term but it's a phrase which is full of mystery and hidden meaning.
' is an Old English word meaning 'road, path or course of travel'. 'The permanent way' seems to suggest a longstanding connection between the countryside and the people who work on the land linked by the ancient (and new) pathways running through the landscape.English Electric is not a concept album but many of the songs are thematic. On The Permanent Way, which is the penultimate track on the album, we have brought together the stories of the individuals and communities working on and under the land who, along with inescapable geological forces, helped to forge the British landscape.As well as the connections between the songs on the two parts of English Electric we have also sought to explore the links to our 2009 album The Underfall Yard and the 2010 EP Far Skies Deep Time. Many of the themes explored on The Underfall Yard defined our work on English Electric.
The title track of The Underfall Yard is primarily about the visionary engineers who made their mark on the land during the 19th century. In that song, the navigators and the engineer can be found:'Working the way through the valleys and fields,grass grown hills and stone.Parting the landwith the mark of man,the permanent way.Using just available light,he could still see far skies,deep time.' Where people have helped to shape the landscape it is at the hands of ordinary folk that this has been done. Sometimes this has been at the behest of powerful land-owners and at other times it has been due to the vision of those far-sighted men-of-iron. But in the end it all comes down to ordinary men and women, in communities past and present, working on the land. A few years back we visited the North Yorkshire Moors. We stayed for a few days at an English Heritage cottage within the grounds of an abbey at.
I'd seen pictures of the romantic ruins of this abbey throughout my childhood and had always wanted to spend some time there. The cottage allowed us access to the site after hours and so were able to see the ruins in their splendid isolation when all the visitors had gone. At night the abbey becomes a very eerie place which meant a ghost-hunting trip was in order and, of course, we spooked ourselves very badly (there were dark shadows and ravens that refused to sing.)On our first day at Rievaulx I noticed a man tending to the stones. He was there throughout our stay and worked from dawn until dusk.

He was an interesting-looking chap, lean and tall with a square-jaw and a face that had been exposed to the elements over the years. He reminded me a little of or, in my imagination, Heathcliff.I became fascinated by this keeper of the abbey and plucked up the courage to say hello. I expected him to be a typically taciturn Yorkshireman but, in fact, he was happy to talk and so I got to know a little bit about his story. He came down from the moors to the valley every day. He loved the abbey and wanted to make it beautiful so he worked hard throughout the hours of daylight.
There was, however, an air of melancholy about him which I couldn't put my finger on. At one point he said he had really wanted to travel the world but had never managed to escape.I walked back to the cottage and made some notes about the keeper of abbeys and later, from those notes, wrote the words that became the lyrics to the fifth song on English Electric Part Two. I have, of course, used some artistic license in painting a portrait of this character (in particular I imagined a reason for his melancholy state) but the song is for the most part a reflection of the man I met at Rievaulx. As we reach Worked Out, the third song on English Electric Part Two, we have moved from the shipbuilders of the North East (see ) back to the mining industry of the Midlands (which featured as a setting in Uncle Jack, Hedgerow and A Boy in Darkness on Part One).It is difficult to contemplate the immense scale of coal mining in Britain before its relatively recent decline. In the 1920's, there were more than a million coal-miners and the number was still at around 700,000 into the 1950's. By 1994, there were just 20,000 coal-miners.The loss of so many mines was a disaster for communities which relied on the industry for work.
Some have recovered but others still suffer very low levels of employment with all of the problems that lack of work brings.Worked Out tells the story of a community from a mine which lasted longer than most. The colliery was called and mined the Warwickshire coalfield until 1987. In the end, the colliery was closed because of a faultline in the coalface rather than for political or economic reasons.My parents live in Tamworth and rent some storage on a farm near Birch Coppice. I spent a fair bit of time in the late 80's and early 90's wandering around on the land around the farm which was becoming. Above the farm loomed a huge man-made hill where the spoil from the mine had accumulated. Nature was reclaiming the site and the hill was greening over. In a cutting I found the track bed of a disused railway line (heaven!) and, surrounding it, the remains of industrial workings. In more recent years, much of the site has been cleared and has become a modern distribution centre but there are still large areas of encroaching wilderness.And, in any case, it is what lies beneath that really interests me. Underneath the ground are the remains from over 150 years of mining. There are shafts (now capped) which reach depths of over 1000 feet.
There are 18 miles of workings and passages and the farthest coal face was three miles from the shafts. It was a huge undertaking and all of the visible remains were disappearing back into the undergrowth (or were being buried by car parks and warehouses.). Progressive rock has a very vibrant presence on the internet, with a number of communities and sites all with their particular strengths and idiosyncrasies. Over the years, I have probably visited, and more often than most, but there are many others, including sites hosted by individual bands (such as the.)Now, there is a fine new prog site called which I strongly recommend. The site functions as a blog and includes reviews and articles.
The number of contributors and readers is expanding very rapidly and I forecast that Progarchy will become an essential resource for prog listeners. The site can be found and followed on Twitter. Upper Kent Street, Highfields, LeicesterThe title of the fifth song on English Electric, Summoned By Bells, was pinched from Sir John Betjeman's book.
Like Betjeman's poem, the song takes a look back at an earlier part of the subject's life, but in this case the memories are from my mum, Doreen, who grew up in a working class area of Leicester called Highfields.My grandad John was a and lived in a terraced railway house in Upper Kent Street, Highfields, for almost all of his adult life. The photograph below shows the railway yard where he and my uncles worked (Leicester Shed). The row of houses lit up by the sunlight on the left of the roundhouse is Upper Kent Street.Leicester Shed and Upper Kent StreetMy mum has told me many stories about her upbringing in Highfields and, a couple of years ago, we decided to take a family trip back to the area to have a look around.We found that much had changed. Leicester Shed is just sidings now; Upper Kent Street is gone and the roundhouse is no more. The population of the area has changed too and, in many ways, it's a very different place from when John and Doreen and her brothers lived there.However, the more we looked around the more familiar the place became to Mum. Many of the old redbrick buildings survive, including her old school. And the park at Spinney Hill where she played is still there (and still popular with the local children). There appeared to be a strong sense of community and, whilst Highfields is just an ordinary place, it seemed to me as good a place as anywhere.As we drove away, we stopped to let a young girl cross the road.
If we had been able to stand in that spot 70 years before, that little girl could have been my mum on her way down to Spinney Hill park. With this image in my mind, more clear to me than the changes in Highfields, was the golden thread of continuity running down from the past.Summoned By Bells is about my mum's upbringing in Leicester and about our trip back to her childhood home. The early parts of the song are built around Danny's piano playing before the focus shifts to Dave's electric 12-string. The song also features our brass band, led by Dave Desmond, and the recorder playing of Jan Jaap Langereis.In the next two weeks on his, David will be telling the stories of the sixth and seventh songs on English Electric, Upton Heath and A Boy in Darkness.
