With the convention celebrating the 20th anniversary of ‘Attack Of The Grey Lantern‘, two features delve deeper into the history of the album; one explores the iconic rose-based artwork of the album with photographer Eric Gauster, whilst the other focuses on the amazing orchestral arrangements of ‘The Chad Who Loved Me’ and ‘Dark Mavis’, with stories from the arranger Stefan Girardet and lead violinist Adonis Alvanez.

The programme also looks to the future with new information about the forthcoming Paul Draper solo album ‘Spooky Action‘ and ongoing production project ‘The Anchoress‘.
