Our Overview.
Barry Adamson announces ‘Memento Mori (Anthology 1978 - 2018)’, a 40th anniversary release charting the artist’s writing and recording career.
Says Adamson, “I’m immensely looking forward to bringing my anthology, ‘Memento Mori’, to the stage - complete with strings and brass, flutes and whistles - along with my band, seething with excellence, chomping at the bit, to bring you the full on Barry Adamson experience. A special album release, worthy of everything I can bring to the table. From ‘Moss Side Story’ to ‘Memento Mori’ (before and beyond). Not to be missed.”
