- This is my conversation with Gregory Spawton. It took place on 7/23/23 from his home near London.
Big Big Train are delighted to announce 15 further shows in the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Switzerland and the UK to take place in August and September 2023.
These additional dates form part of the band’s The Journey Continues tour and are in addition to the band’s previously announced headlining appearance at the 2 Days + 1 Festival in Italy on 2nd September 2023. At these performances the band will be promoting the forthcoming Ingenious Devices album, which will be released on 30th June 2023.
For these shows Big Big Train will consist of lead vocalist Alberto Bravin, drummer Nick D’Virgilio, guitarist/keyboardist Rikard Sjöblom, bassist Gregory Spawton, violinist Clare Lindley, keyboardist Oskar Holldorff and guitarist Maria Barbieri. Barbieri is deputising for Dave Foster, who has prior commitments in September with the Steve Rothery Band. The Big Big Train brass ensemble, led by trombonist Dave Desmond, will perform at all shows.
Alberto Bravin says: “After the shows we played in the UK and the Netherlands back in September, I cannot wait to get back on stage again with Big Big Train later this year. I remain truly grateful to the fans for welcoming me so warmly at last year’s shows and am excited about BBT touring more extensively.”
Rikard Sjöblom adds: “I have been campaigning for a long time for Big Big Train to come to Sweden, so I am really pleased that we’re bringing the band for the first time not only to my home country for two shows but also to play two other dates in Denmark and Norway. I hope the Scandinavian prog fans will come out in force to see us live!”
Nick D’Virgilio says: “As we’re doing two nights at the beautiful Cadogan Hall in London, these will be very special shows with about 45 minutes of material being played at one show which will not be performed at the other.”
Gregory Spawton concludes: “As 2023 begins, I’m very confident about Big Train’s future. Apart from playing live this year, we will also be recording a new studio album for release in 2024 and are looking forward to taking BBT across the Atlantic for Cruise to The Edge in March next year.”

Nice interview, Thanks!
Thank you! Greg Spawton is one of the greatest musicians and Big Big Train is an incredible band.
I was there that first night in Kings Place. We could feel the nerves as they walked out, but within minutes they were playing out of their skin! VERY memorable gig, and so lucky I was there!
Hi, this went to my 2nd best gig ever [up to now] Drink, Cheers, tears, brilliant !!!
I think loyal fans need to support their bands record output …how amazing is it to have a signed record …I always tr6 to buy the vinyl and the CD .
A mate of mine used to grumble because I used to play various Prog albums in my lab that I used to run … he used to say “uhhh thinking man’s music”…he was from Leeds ad rough as f**k lol great guy and I turned him,,,haha I gave him a recording (very naughty) of Then there were 3 and he loved it… hahah
I remember that Steve Hackett solo in Firth of Fifth from SEBTP walking home from my girlfriend and thinking how cool is that solo ? This was about 1981 when I was 16. A little late getting into Genesis in 1980 I bought And then there were 3 because I loved Follow you follow me and right from the opening track Undertow I was hooked with that opening synth and wouldn’t allow myself to flip the album over to the last track.
Greg you are such a brilliant advocat and musician for Prog rock, incredible talent you have sir.
