In this High
Definition experience,26 year old front man JOE PAYNE proves beyond
reasonable doubt that he deserved his 2014 title of Best Male Vocalist
in Prog.The star singer shows off his impressive 5 octave range a range
only previously matched by Axel Rose and a young Mariah Carey.Joe Payne
succeeds where other singers have failed in his attempt to seek the
ultimate classical crossover voice.Payne has been taught Opera by
globally recognised vocal coach Paul Farrington, known for his work
with The Royal Opera House, The Royal Academy of Music and ground
breaking studies into the science of singing.With Farrington's help,
Payne has designed a vocal style unique to him.The dynamic range takes
his voice from a whisper to a shout,with the intimacy and soulfulness
of a rock vocal and the support and certainty of an opera singer.
THE
BRIDGE SHOW was conceived to showcase new music from THE BRIDGE Album
and used music from The Enid's extensive back catalogue to create a
seamless story.In a press statement leading up to this tour,Joe Payne
explained:It must tell a story.The show must run seamlessly if a song
doesn't fit the overall concept,it simply will not make the cut.There
will certainly be pieces from across our back catalogue, but art must
trump nostalgia.These shows will be our most ambitious since the Salome
Ballet in the 1980s.
THE BRIDGE SHOW showcases THE ENID as they
are now,distancing themselves from all preconceptions relating to their
history as an instrumental entity.In fact,there is only one
instrumental piece performed in the entire two act show Judgement Day
from debut album In the Region of the Summer Stars.Set in the fictional
world of ENILAND,the show opens with the fictional character QUEEN ENID
addressing the audience with a speech entitled ENILAND CAN TAKE IT.The
performance continues to use videos throughout the show to pose cynical
questions about the strengths and dangers of
nationalism,capitalism,entitlement,smoke-screen government
projects,free-press,propaganda and self-sacrifice.The Enid's band
members go into more detail about the concept,and answer other
questions about the current line up in the extended interview.
