FBB recorded at The Oratory, St James Cemetery, Liverpool

The Frakture Big Band is a large-scale improvising group from Liverpool. This was recorded as part of a project for 80 Days Around the City where the Frakture Big Band performed and recorded in the Picton Reading Room at Central Library, the Williamson Tunnels and St James’ Oratory, where this was recorded. And it was very very cold. The Picton Rooms and the Williamson Tunnels were performed in front of audiences however this was purely a recording session.
