The performance comes after the supergroup announced last week that ‘Merrie Land’ will be released on November 16.

The album was written “during the current period in which the UK is preparing to leave the European Union – creating a reluctant good-bye letter, a series of observations and reflections on Britishness in 2018”.

A statement from the band confirmed :“Merrie Land’s focus moves beyond GBQ’s London-themed first album to a wider land, with a beautiful and hopeful paean to the Britain of today, an inclusive Britain, currently in an Anglo-Saxostentialist crises at the end of a relationship, wondering what might be salvaged.”

The band will also be embarking on a UK tour. Visit here for tickets and more information.
