Steve Rothery goes to Sea

Steve Rothery has launched an 11-minute video from his upcoming solo double-album Live In Rome.

The clip showcases a performance of his track The Old Man Of The Sea, recorded at his band’s second-ever performance.

Marillion guitarist Rothery recently said: “They’re some of the finest musicians I’ve ever worked with and the concert was an unforgettable experience.” He adds of the clip: “This is one of my favourite live tracks from the album.”

Live In Rome is launched on August 25 via InsideOut Music, with studio album The Ghosts Of Pripyat to follow in September, featuring guest appearances by Steve Hackett, Steven Wilson and Don Airey.

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.
