We The Collective

Levellers decided they wanted to do something a bit different with their back catalogue to kick

off celebrations for their 30th anniversary year in 2018. They brought in a string section and

enlisted legendary producer John Leckie (Radiohead, The Stone Roses) to help develop new acoustic

arrangements for eight of their previous singles including Liberty, Hope Street and One Way which

they recorded straight to tape at the world-famous Abbey Road Studios. They also recorded two

brand new songs The Shame and Drug Bust McGee and the result is 10 track album 'We The

Collective' which will be released on vinyl and deluxe CD on 9th March 2018 on the band's own On

The Fiddle Recordings label. Lead singer Mark Chadwick says, "The different musicians, producer

and the studio combined to make something really special".

Levellers head out on a full Acoustic Tour in the Spring where they be playing the new

arrangements, with guest musicians, starting at Glasgow's Celtic Connections festival. They will

play at the Roundhouse in London as part of the In the Round festival as well as a number of

theatres and concert halls around Europe.
