Big Big Train

Our second Wheel of Prog LIVE from @cruisetotheedge 2026 where we ranked Prog Debut Albums from the 60s/70s with guests Alberto Bravin, Nick D'Virgilio, Gregory Spawton, and Rikard Sjöblom from @bigbigtrain. Watch it here: youtu.be/bTXySWhLqBE

Once again the Cruise proved a wonderful experience and we greatly enjoyed playing for fans old and new. Our thanks go to our brilliant crew and to Larry Morand and the excellent Cruise To The Edge team for looking after us so well.

We have returned to our respective home bases following Cruise To The Edge. After a warm-up show at the 1865 in Southampton, where Ross Jennings and an acoustic Solstice opened the evening for us brilliantly, we journeyed to Miami and then performed twice on board the Cruise.

Big Big Train bass player Gregory Spawton @gmspeedwell has written the first part of his tour diary, covering rehearsals and our gig at the 1865. open.substack.com/pub/germanders…

‘Woodcut is a handcrafted, deeply human record: analogue in spirit, exacting in execution, and fully deserving of its place among the most substantial and enduring Progressive Rock works of the current era’
