Chris Rea and Lords Of The New Church, and it is introduced by Capital Radio's Nicky Home. Initial reaction from viewers in Europe, who see the show via Satellite Television's Sky Channel, has been "excellent'.', says Philip Goodhand-Tait, Trilion Pictures, managing director. "We set out to make a series that captured pop performers doing what they do best, performing in front of their own enthusiastic audiences in a sympathetic atmosphere," he said.
