Neil Campbell’s ‘Frankenstein’ Premieres at St George’s Hall

Neil’s new composition ‘Frankenstein’ received its first performance on Friday 30th October at Liverpool’s St George’s Hall Concert Room.

The evening began with a performance of ‘Ghost Stories’ and then, following an interval, The Neil Campbell Collective, featuring Neil on guitar (and sound cues), Mark Brocklesby (drums), Nicole Collarbone (cello), Anne Taft (soprano), Chris Bradshaw (keys) and Andy Maslivec (bass) along with the fantastic Sense of Sound Choir, led by Perry Alleyne-Hughes, performed the new 45 minute composition.

Visual projections by Valeria Di Matteo featuring art by George Jones were projected behind the ensemble.

After the performance of the new piece the audience of around 300 were given an encore of the NCC’s ten minute epic ‘Rainstorm 2′, specially arranged to include additional keyboards, soprano and choir.

Your Move magazine called the show “An electric synergy of music and imagery, with haunting vocals and some of the best new classical guitar work around”.
