Studio album 'Common Ground' from the multi-award winning Big Big Train. Includes the beautiful title track and first single 'Common Ground', dazzling instrumental 'Apollo', Zeitgeist capturing 'The Strangest Times' and stunning 15 minute epic 'Atlantic Cable'. The album features core members plus Carly Bryant (keyboards, vocals) and Dave Foster (guitars) plus a guest appearance from violinist Aidan O'Rourke of highly rated Scottish folk pioneers Lau. Recorded during the worldwide pandemic, sees the band continue their tradition of dramatic narratives but also tackling issues much closer to home, such as the Covid lockdowns, the separation of loved ones, the passage of time, deaths of people close to the band and the hope that springs from a new love.
