Bill Ryder-Jones & Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra

Upon leaving The Coral in 2008, few would have expected the direction Ryder-Jones took for his debut solo album, If… 

Written as a soundtrack to Italo Calvino's novel If on a Winter's Night a Traveller, it’s almost entirely instrumental, full of cinematic-style soundscapes and beautifully ornate melodies. 

15 years to the day, and four albums since its release, Bill rejoins the Orchestra with whom he recorded If… to celebrate this special anniversary, performing the album in full in all its glory for the first (and very possibly only) time. Before that, we’ll also hear new work from Bill, and old favourites too, including tracks from 2024's critically acclaimed Iechyd Da.
