Progressive Rock : Mostly Autumn - "Carpe Diem"

Movie recorded at a concert in Uden, Holland, in March 2009.

Mostly Autumn is a British band, producing music heavily influenced by classic 70s rock. The group formed in 1996, and have built their reputation through constant touring, never signing to a major label. The group's early influences were Genesis and Pink Floyd, and folk music. Later albums have also included more contemporary influences.

Carpe Diem" is a track from the Bands 'Storms Over Still Water' Album " and reflects on the Tsunami disaster. Lead/solo guitar comes from founder member Bryan Josh with soaring vocals from Olivia Sparnenn.

Personal Note : Great gig and it's perhaps worth noting that Olivia Sparnenn is not even the bands main singer - that honour goes to Heather Findlay who unfortunately had to miss this particular concert.

There is often some lively debate about the quality of the bands singers - much as I love Heather and can't ever imagine Mostly Autumn without her ... all I can say is after a performance like the one Olivia gave in Uden, she is perhaps 'under-used' in her role as main backing singer ... but as I say, can't imagine Mostly Autumn without Heather!

If Olivia Sparnenn can do this song justice (and the video proves she can), then the future of Mostly Autumn as a live band seems pretty safe in her hands.
