Steve Hogarth: SPQR - Live from Sala Sinopoli, Roma

Concert Films • G • Directed by: Steve Hogarth, RanestRane & Flowing Chords • 126 minutes

Eight years after his last live show in the city, Steve "H” Hogarth returned to Rome. For the recording of "SPQR”, he, once again, was accompanied by Italian band RanestRane, who provided acoustic instrumentation with harp, mandolin, harmonium and tablas. For this show, reimagining Marillion classics and solo material through cinematic arrangements, they were also joined by the Flowing Chords choir. Recorded on February 3, 2024, at Rome’s Sala Sinopoli, H said at the time: "It’s with great pleasure that I can announce a return to Rome on Saturday 3 February 2024, to make another show – solo, and accompanied by local Romans, RanestRane, in an attempt to revisit the chemistry we had together last time in September 2015.” Furthermore he states: "In England we have a saying: When in Rome…find yourself an amazing Italian band and gig with them."
