We’re proud to celebrate @recordstoredayuk with the release of something deeply special to us, The Great Western Road Trip: A Live Album.

Recorded on the opening night of The Great Western Road Trip at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall in March last year, this live album captures the very first performance of nine brand new songs, played alongside some of your favourites.

What we didn’t know then was that it would also be our final Scottish show with our dear friend and brother, Jim.

We hope the excitement we felt creating the show comes through, and that you enjoy this unique recording of a very special Edinburgh night.

Available exclusively for Record Store Day 2026 on blue smoke triple vinyl and CD. The vinyl is limited to 1000 hand-numbered copies. Find your local participating store here.

Dedicated to James Miller Prime
3 November 1960 – 19 June 2025

Tickets for our run of summer shows are on sale now here.

We’re delighted to be joined by the brilliant Lightning Seeds at all dates except Edinburgh.

Due to incredible demand we’re thrilled to say we’ve added a second night at the stunning Piece Hall in Halifax; we’ll now be playing Wednesday 8th July as well as Thursday 9th!

Grab your tickets here now! You won’t want to miss these shows.

No one knows where The Great Western Road ends up, least of all us! For now, the road goes on and next summer we are taking the shows outdoors to some beautiful venues. We can’t wait to see you there and we promise to make every night very special. Rx
