“Life begins at 40. For our midlife euphoria we recorded a double orchestral album of some of our deepest cuts,” says Tim.

Be Opened By The Wonderful is a 20-track CD (19 on vinyl) of some of our most loved and rare tracks, re-imagined with orchestra and choir. Arranged and conducted by Joe Duddell, the album was recorded at Blueprint Studios in Manchester last year with ORCA22 and Manchester Inspirational Voices.

It’s due for release on 9th June and includes one brand new track, Love Make A Fool.

Head to the official web shop from 9am today where you’ll find the album on double CD and double vinyl LP (green or black vinyl), including some exclusive options. Or click here for a range of other vendors plus streaming pre-saves.
