Steve Hogarth - S.P.Q.R. (Live from Sala Sinopoli, Roma) (2026) [Hi-Res]

Steve Hogarth announces and releases Eight years after his last live show in the city, Steve ‘H’ Hogarth returned to Rome. For the recording of SPQR, he, once again, was accompanied by Italian band RanestRane, who provided acoustic instrumentation with harp, mandolin, harmonium and tablas. For this show, reimagining Marillion classics and solo material through cinematic arrangements, they were also joined by the Flowing Chords choir.

Recorded on February 3, 2024, at Rome’s Sala Sinopoli, H said at the time: ‘It’s with great pleasure that I can announce a return to Rome on Saturday 3 February 2024, to make another show – solo, and accompanied by local Romans, RanestRane, in an attempt to revisit the chemistry we had together last time in September 2015.’ Furthermore he states: ‘In England we have a saying ‘When in Rome… find yourself an amazing Italian band and gig with them’.’

SPQR offers the full concert experience, including songs such as ‘Thank You Whoever You Are,’ ‘Afraid of Sunlight,’ ‘Estonia’ and ‘Go!,’ alongside renditions of The Beatles’ ‘All You Need Is Love’ or Leonard Cohen’s ‘Famous Blue Raincoat’. It’s a love letter to Rome and an unforgettable journey for fans everywhere.
