They’ll play in London on December 21 alongside A Formal Horse, Red Letter and The Far Meadow

The Gift have confirmed a Christmas show on December 21 at The Bedford in London – part of the venue’s MidWinter Madness event.

The symphonic prog outfit will be joined by A Formal Horse, Red Letter and The Far Meadow.

Their next UK show takes place on April 25 at the Matchroom in Plymouth, as a double-header show with Synaesthesia.

The Gift launched second album Land Of Shadows in April this year via Bad Elephant Music. Prog hailed its “sense of honesty” and added: “A long time coming, it may not break new ground, but it successfully evokes the spirit of prog gone by.”

Frontman Mike Morton and guitarist David Lloyd confirmed bassist Stefan Dickers and drummer Scott Tipler as permanent members of the band earlier this year.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
