" Set in the fictional world of Eniland, the show opens with the fictional character - Queen Enid - addressing the audience with a speech entitled “ENILAND CAN TAKE IT”. The performance continues to use videos throughout the show to pose cynical questions about the strengths and dangers of nationalism, capitalism, entitlement, smoke-screen government projects, free-press, propaganda and self-sacrifice."

"The concert was recorded and filmed at the Union Chapel, London on Tuesday 31st March 2015 by EnidLive and Jeff Cousins." - https://www.theenid.co.uk/

 5 stars  The Bridge Show - Live at Union Chapel (2015) - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_TaS3ukydpK-DF7We7DqQKSKynVTN91v

"Dust, the last leg of the Journey's End trilogy, also proved to be a last in other, unforseen, ways: it was the last studio album to feature Payne, Read, Storey and (at least for now) Godfrey. An arduous writing and recording schedule began in the summer of 2014 at their newly fitted studio in Netzschkau, East Germany, and finally completed back at The Lodge back in Northampton in December the following year, too late for the start of their visually spectacular supporting tour."

"The album was released the same date Robert John Godfrey played his final UK live show with the band at Cadogan Hall, London, in April 2016. Despite its troubled gestation, Dust is by no means without merit. There are moments of Enid magnificence (Born in the Fire, When the World is Full) and some sterling, anthemic songwriting (Someone Shall Rise, Monsters). However, as with The Bridge, there are some divisive moments, too (the infectuous West End musical-like Trophy proved a step too far for some). It's not entirely inappropriate to say Dust was not the Trilogy's finale hoped for; for that we await, with baited breath, the arrival of Resurgency in 2017 to reset the clock." - 

4 stars Dust (2016) - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_TaS3ukydpL-KgTFGwYnAXCs6HYElyO5

I've about 9 of these and a bootleg. Tremendous band. First heard Live At Hammersmith. This is rock? 2 guitars, bass, drums and keyboards. Damn, I could have sworn it's a full orchestra. Symphonic rock at it's most symphonic and beautiful.

Tommy Vance on BBC Radio 1 once said that Robert John Godfrey is Britain's finest living composer, and I'd have to agree with him. Thumbs Up
