In November 2014 John Grant embarked upon a seven-date tour accompanied by the Royal Northern Sinfonia in which his celebrated catalogue was reworked and reimagined with a sumptuous orchestral setting, alongside the world premiere of 4 new songs, which feature on the forthcoming album, 'Grey Tickles Black Pressure', and make up this limited edition 12". John Grant's creativity, unique songwriting and wonderful vocals combined with thirty four musicians is a one-off musical experience.
The concert was orchestrated by Fiona Brice who has provided arrangements for the the likes of Roy Harper, Vashti Bunyan, Anna Calvi, Midlake, Placebo, as well as John himself.
