29 June 2007 - North Sea Radio Orchestra - live dates


catch North Sea Radio Orchestra live at the Green Man Festival on the weekend of 17th-20th August

Observer Music Monthly - Sunday May 20, 2007 - 25 acts you must see this summer
23. North Sea Radio Orchestra
"First there was Godspeed! You Black Emperor's brooding magnificence. Then the sinister euphoria of the Polyphonic Spree. Now those in search of a compellingly populous audio-visual proposition can thrill to the ethereal magic of Craig and Sharron Fortnam's London-based chamber ensemble NSRO, whose exquisite pastoral settings of works by British romantic poets should have the Green Man festival at their mercy. "

6 November 2006 - North Sea Radio Orchestra - live at the Spitz

5* live review by Ben Thompson in the Sunday Telegraph, 5/11/2006....
" The North Sea Radio Orchestra *****
... The North Sea Radio Orchestra is the kind of deserving enterprise the BBC should really be throwing money at. Having honed its craft in public libraries and sympathetic places of worsbip, this superbly disciplined chamber ensemble is now more than ready to step onto a larger stage. And as sumptuous swirls of organ, strings, guitar and bassoon eddy around a rapt Spitz, in east London, the pastoral splendour of its debut album comes magically to life. Craig Fortnam’s compositions stake out a unique terrain, somewhere between Vaughan Williams’s The Lark Ascending and the baroque meditations of Sufjan Stevens, and his wife Sharron populates it with a voice of dazzling, pre-industrial clarity."
