Live at St Pancras Old Church is the first live album by English duo Smoke Fairies. ^[1]

Background

The album was recorded on 24 October 2013, at St Pancras Old Church, London ^[2] and released in 2015. It features Rasputina, with whom the Smoke Fairies were touring at the time, providing backing cellos on a number of songs.

In an article by Waterloo Records, the band recalled the start of the tour; "With only a day to practice, we were all a little apprehensive as we unpacked our instruments and set up some amps in our kitchen, but after a few moments, as the strings, voices and guitars filled the room, we knew the shows ahead were going to turn out just fine. Melora and Daniel's cellos and Neil's viola provided new textures and direction to our old songs and it was a tour that left us very grateful for the opportunity to play with such talented friends, to attentive audiences in some spectacular, historical places". ^[3]

The album was released on limited edition black vinyl, which quickly sold out, and is now difficult to find for those wishing to add it to their Smoke Fairies collection.
