Renaissance return to the road
7-date UK tour in April continues to support Symphony Of Light

Renaissance will tour the UK in April next year, they’ve confirmed.
Annie Haslam and co will return to the road for seven shows in support of this year’s album Symphony Of Light, originally released the previous year as Grandine Il Vento.
It was their last to feature late guitarist Michael Dunford, who died after it had been completed. He was replaced by Ryche Chlanda, who’s now completed four tours with the band. The Symphony Of Light edition features three bonus tracks including Renaissance Man, a tribute to co-founder Dunford.
Haslam will this week launch her Live In Philadelphia DVD, which was recorded in 1997. She describes the show as “a very special experience for us all.” Renaissance classic Scheherazade And Other Stories was recently released as a limited-edition gold hybrid SACD album.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
