Recorded and filmed at the Rondo Theatre in Bath on 1st April 2007, this live album saw original Stackridge members Andy Davis (guitar, keyboards, vocals), James Warren (rhythm guitar, vocals), Mutter Slater (flute and vocals) and Crun Walter (bass) reunite for a very special concert which was recorded in both audio and video formats.

On stage Stackridge was augmented by Glenn Tommey (keyboards), Nigel Newton (lead guitar), Rachel Hall (violin), Sarah Mitchell (2nd violin and vocals) and Andy Marsden (drums). The set that evening comprised many Stackridge classic tracks, along with a selection of material by Davis and Warren’s later band The Korgis.

Originally issued in 2007 as both a live 2CD set and a DVD and out of print for some years, this new edition of The Forbidden City gathers together both CD and DVD releases in one clamshell boxed set, giving Stackridge aficionados the chance to relive this magical concert once again.
