This album is great demonstration of All About Eve's live ability. Although most songs feature on other ablums they sound so much better live and acoustic. I only found out about this group at a folk festival but they have grown on me over the years.....definitely one to try!
Format:Audio CD
Again this album is a gift for someone else. but I do love All About Eve. This was for my mum on her wishlist so she should enjoy it. A gift for her anniversary which we as a family shall be celebrating soon. 3 star rating for prompt delivery.

All About Eve emerged on the late 80s UK "gothic" scene. The band's nucleus of erstwhile rock journalist and Gene Loves Jezebel bass player Julianne Regan, along with Tim Bricheno (ex-Aemotti Crii), provided much of their song material. After various early personnel changes, the rhythm section was stabilized with Andy Cousin (bass; also ex-Aemotti Crii) and Mark Price (drums).
Given encouragement by rising stars the Mission (for whom Regan had in the past sung backing vocals), All About Eve developed a solid following and with a backdrop of hippie mysticism and imagery, provided a taste of the exotic with a mixture of Goth rock and 70s folk. Early singles "Our Summer" and "Flowers In Our Hair" achieved great success in the UK independent charts and after signing to Mercury Records, their modest showings in the national charts finally gave them a Top 10 hit in July 1988 with "Martha's Harbour".
Both albums reached the UK Top 10, confirming their aspirations to be among the front-runners in UK rock in the late 80s. However, this ambition was dealt a blow in 1990 when a rift between the band and guitarist Bricheno resulted in his departure to join Sisters Of Mercy. The recruitment of Church guitarist Marty Willson-Piper on a part-time basis revitalized the band's drive, although the subsequent album, Touched By Jesus.
To the delight of their die-hard fans, Regan, Willson-Piper and Cousin embarked on an impromptu acoustic tour as All About Eve in early 2000. The highlights were captured on this CD Fairy Light Nights vol 1.
