The concert features music from the first three Sanctuary CDs, the recent Ringmaster albums and much more.
Robert has put together, yet again, an amazing collection of talented musicians. This 10 piece band is joined by special guests Tom Newman (Tubular Bells Producer) and Les Penning (Ommadawn/In Dulce Jubilo).

Robert Reed:
“I’m really excited to finally be releasing a Blu-ray concert. I’m really proud of all the DVDs that I’ve released over the years but the clarity of Blu-ray takes the visual experience to a whole new level. I’m fortunate to have an amazing group of talented people at my disposal, both musically and cinematographically, and they all came together perfectly at the Arlington Arts Centre last May to ensure a fabulous product was captured for prosperity. I tried to choose a perfect balance from not just the Sanctuary and Ringmaster albums but also from some of the previously released EPs like Willow’s Song and Doctor Who, the latter of which was a lot of fun with the theatrics of both Les Penning and Tom Newman.
I’m extremely happy with the finished result and to perform again to such an enthusiastic audience was such a thrill. I wish we could do it more often but it’s such a challenging and complex undertaking that makes it impractical on many levels; I guess that makes it more special”.
The concert was shot in 4K and presented in HD on a region free Blu-ray. Stereo and 5.1 DTS Digital Surround
Comes with a Robert Reed signed postcard (Tigermoth orders, while stocks last)
Due to the high production costs of Blu-rays, only a limited number have been produced and are expected to sell out pretty quickly.

I've just sat through this totally brilliant show, again.

I was mesmerized when I saw it live and I'm mesmerised again.

To listen and watch these fantastic musicians and singers makes my heart leap with total joy.

Don't expect an immersive sound mix on the lines of his studio releases.
But the sound recording and video work is utterly brilliant.

I can say this without hesitation, Robert Reed is one very talented musician and he surrounds himself with like minded folk.
I feel honoured to have been there with my son, who had never heard his music before.
He was completely gobsmacked.

I have a warm smile from ear to ear.
