Touch Media regulars, The Blackheart Orchestra, are making use of our CD duplication service to renew their stocks. This week we’re doing another print run of Songs From A Satellite and Diving For Roses. No doubt these albums will be available on the merch stall of there current tour (tickets can be found here).
Blackheart Orchestra is officially the smallest orchestra in the world. Two people playing 13 instruments between them, Chrissy Mostyn and Rick Pilkington perform in what has been described as a ‘musical space station’ of instruments including acoustic and electric guitar, bowed guitar, bass, percussion, mandola, piano, organ, omnichord and vintage synthesisers.
After over 1000 concerts and 4 albums they’ve played everywhere from Southampton to Sydney including London’s Palladium and Royal Albert Hall while piling up achievements from a nomination for the Progressive Music Limelight Award, Best British Duo, #4 Best New British Band, and #10 Most Important Rock Event of 2020 to two years later winning Best British Album, Best Song and Best Female Vocalist in the USA Progressive Rock Awards.
Their multi-award winning album Hotel Utopia charted at #13 in the UK Rock Chart, and was described as“Epic” (Uncut), “Spellbinding” (The Progressive Aspect), “Mercurial” (Guitarist) and “One of the best albums of the year” (Progressive Rock Central).
