  • The Whiting’s on the Wall 2014

    To celebrate/commiserate a remarkable 20 years performing together, in September 2013 Belshazzar’s Feast recorded their first live album, finally capturing in a recording what sell-out audiences have been enjoying for two decades.

    The album was recorded by engineer and co-producer Andy Bell over two consecutive nights at The Pound in Corsham, Wiltshire. This intimate venue brought its own atmosphere to the shows which involved huge dollops of audience participation, a key element of the Belshazzar’s Feast live experience. The album features original artwork by famous English humourist and artist Simon Drew, referencing the Biblical source of the band’s name.

    Release date: 7th April 2014. (Unearthed/distributed by PIAS).
