Big Big Train

Big Big Train is an English progressive rock band formed in Bournemouth in 1990. The group has undergone numerous lineup changes throughout its history, with bassist Greg Spawton and drummer Nick D'Virgilio being the most consistent members. Renowned for their storytelling through music, Big Big Train's sound is characterized by a blend of intricate rock instrumentation, rich orchestration, and an evocation of the English landscape and history. They have garnered a reputation for creating concept albums that transport listeners on epic musical journeys.

The band's more recent works have seen a continued evolution in their style and narrative approach. "Welcome to the Planet," released in 2022, stands as a testament to their mastery and evolution as a band, showcasing their deep-seated roots in progressive rock while embracing wider musical influences. From the pastoral and contemplative "Made from Sunshine" to the more robust and adventurous "The Connection Plan," Big Big Train continues to push the boundaries of their sound, earning them a dedicated following within the prog scene. Their live performances, such as "Snowfalls (At the Boerderij)" and "Welcome to the Planet (Live at All Saints' Church, Lydd, Kent)," capture the sweeping grandeur of their studio recordings, complete with the emotion and immediacy that only a live setting can provide. Big Big Train remains a band that cherishes the art of musical storytelling, crafting songs that resonate with their growing audience around the globe.
