2 DISC CD & DVD DELUXE DIGIPACK SET OF FM’s 2006 PERFORMANCE AT THE NEARFEST FESTIVAL Esoteric Recordings are pleased to announce the release of the new, previously unreleased 2006 live CD and DVD by the legendary Canadian Progressive Rock band FM. The band began life in 1976 with CAMERON HAWKINS (Synthesisers, Bass, Vocals) and NASH THE SLASH (Jeff Plewman) (Electric Violin, Mandolin, Vocals) coming together as a duo, making an appearance on national TV in Canada in the Summer of 1976. By March 1977 FM became a trio with the addition of MARTIN DELLAR on Drums. A series of albums followed, which saw the band enjoy a loyal following outside their homeland in the USA and Europe. Disbanding in 1994 Progressive Rock fans were delighted when FM reformed in 2006 to perform at the annual NearFest Festival at the Zoellner Arts Center in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The line-up featured CAMERON HAWKINS (Synthesisers, Bass, Vocals), MARTIN DELLAR (Drums) and CLAUDIO VENA (Viola, Mandolin) and the performance saw FM perform classic material from their back catalogue. Their stunning set was captured on video and audio and finally makes its long awaited appearance as a two-disc CD and DVD set (DVD is NTSC / Region Free).
