Inspired by the 17th and 18th century custom of the Grand Tour, where young men

and women travelled to broaden the mind, Big Big Train have made an album of

songs set in distant lands and beyond.

Grand Tour features nine new tracks which will take listeners on an epic journey over

land and sea and through time and space.

Big Big Train drummer, Nick D’Virgilio says:

‘There are songs inspired by the legacy of the Italian Renaissance genius, Leonardo

da Vinci; songs telling the story of the rise and fall of Rome; of the beautiful mosaics

of Ravenna, and of the shipwreck of a great poet, lost in a tempest off the coast of

Italy. Along the way, the story of mankind’s greatest ever journey is told.’

Vocalist David Longdon says:

‘Grand Tour is a celebration of the human experience, of science and art, and of

what it means to be alive.’
