Some word from Ben Poole :
Set in the beautifully stunning and musically prestigious city of Montreux, Switzerland, this show was certainly one of the biggest highlights (of which there were many!) from a very busy 2022. The year saw us performing at some amazing venues and festivals, across 17 countries in various formats, and on both sides of the Atlantic. But as we step into 2023 I have to say that on reflecting over the past 12 months this night in particular really stands out in my mind. Not only did I feel like the period of time around the MIGS show really marked a turning point in live music returning after the 2 year “hiatus”, but everything about this night in particular was simply magical! The energy from the audience was palpable, and only led to the energy already emanating from the boys on stage increasing ten fold! One of the only shows where we added keys to the otherwise usual trio line-up; Matt Gest added some wonderful textures and glorious harmonies to proceedings. The band, featuring Steve Amadeo on bass guitar and Chris Hardwick on drums, really stepped up on that evening and I’m so proud of the result. Add to this the wonderful people, the gorgeous venue, the great sound, and the incredible light show, it is no wonder we have all been so excited to share some of this night with you all!
Special thanks from me personally must go to Manu, David and all of the MIGS team for having us and putting together this new festival venture so professionally and to such a high level. And of course to my band & crew who kicked ass on stage and were, as always, a total pleasure to hang with all weekend in that glorious setting of Montreux !
