'Coventry Cathedral - Easter '21' by Rob Halligan
Review
Fresh out today is a live album of the special lockdown gig which Rob Halligan played at Coventry Cathedral with the help of Ewan Cameron and Chris Hunt a couple of weeks ago, and which you can hear for free by downloading it from Rob's Bandcamp page at https://robhalligan.bandcamp.com/album/coventry-cathedral-easter-21

The album features predominantly tracks from Rob's most recent releases, reviewed here in "Hot Music Live" and now you can hear them performed live which has always been his intention & hopefully you will still have the chance once the many dates & tour he had planned can be rescheduled.
The songs themselves are "Promised Land", "Wild Horses", "Come Take Your Place", "The Other Side", "When I Survey", "Bigger Than Me" (the current single), "Wayfaring Stranger", "You Never Can Tell" and "Always Heading Home" (the title track of his latest album).
It looks & sounds a very magical session & one which no doubt being there would have enhanced in such a performance space ideal for the sentiments in the song as well as the acoustics: however since it wasn't, we can thank both modern technology for making sharing the experience possible & Rob's generosity in gifting it to us.
