Revered British band the Levellers have released a live version of ‘The Road’ recorded on tour with their much-loved acoustic Collective at London’s iconic Hackney Empire in 2023. The song is taken from their brand new live album and DVD out on March 7th via On The Fiddle Recordings. It is available to pre-order here.
Originally taken from their platinum-selling hit album Levelling The Land in 1991, the new expansive acoustic performance of their fan favourite ‘The Road’ can now be heard on all streaming platforms here and a video captured from the evening can be seen here.
Footage of ‘Wheels’, ‘Hope Street‘ and ‘The Cholera Well‘ from the upcoming DVD are all also available to enjoy now on the band’s YouTube channel.
The full concert DVD is a film which captures the spirit of the Levellers as never seen before. 25 cameras were positioned onstage and around the venue for the recording and sees all the musicians captured in intimate detail as they weave a magical musical landscape for the songs.
Having thrilled fans and critics with two highly acclaimed acoustic tours and albums in recent years, the Levellers Collective will embark on a new 17-date tour of theatres and venues around the country coinciding with the new album release in March 2025.
