THE BLACKHEART ORCHESTRA
Prog Rock | Seated
The Blackheart Orchestra are multi-award winning, multi-instrumentalists
Chrissy Mostyn and Rick Plkington. They comprise a two person ‘orchestra’
playing up to 13 instruments in their unique live show. From their onstage
‘musical space station’ they create highly emotional contemporary rock music
featuring a multitude of sounds and atmospheres from acoustic and electric
guitars, bass and bowed guitar to piano, organ, vintage synthesisers,
omnichord, melodica and electric percussion. They have been described as a
modern day Pink Floyd with influences from as far afield as Kate Bush,
Portishead and Cocteau Twins to modern composers Steve Reich and Philip
Glas
They combine their folk and rock roots with electronica and classical
with Genesis founder Steve Hackett calling their music “Powerful and
inspiring” and Motorhead’s Phil Campbell declaring it “ beautiful”. Their
last two albums both achieved Top 20 positions with latest album Hotel Utopia
reaching #13 in the Official UK Rock Chart and winning Best British Album,
Best Song and Best Female Vocalist in the USA Progressive Rock Awards.
The Blackheart Orchestra currently sits on six Best Albums of The Year lists
in the UK.
