Ridgeriders in Concert
Songs of the Southern English Landscape from the Television Series

Talking Elephant TECD035 (CD, UK, 2001)

Il "live" è stato registrato (in modo non eccellente) da Will Thomas in occasione di un tour del 2001. Si raccontano storie e aneddoti dei "Ridegeriders", il gruppo di motorbikers protagonista di una nota serie televisiva del Meridian Broadcasting's. I disegni di Malcolm Holmes e le fotografie di Jeff Wright allietano una concezione grafica poco entusiasmante. Tra i brani, efficace l'acustica "Up the Crooked Spire / General Ward" accompagnata dalle mani di un pubblico partecipe.
