‘Believe It’ (Live) from New Model Army’s unique community singing event for their fans
called ‘Night Of A Thousand Voices’ which was held in April 2018 at Round Chapel in London (UK)
You know those moments when a band plays quietly and a whole audience sings the words? Sometimes, these are the most emotional experiences-because singing together is the oldest and most basic form of human art, something primal and truly shared. So in April 2018, New Model Army did a weekend of just this, not concerts as such, but community singing events for people who came from all over the world for love of the bands songs, for the love of singing and for the feeling of singing together with others. Over the weekend, forty-nine different songs were sung we hope these tracks give you a taster of what happened.

Frontman Justin Sullivan states …
‘Singing together is the oldest and most basic form of human art, perhaps the most continually bonding of all, and goes all the way back to the very beginning of our history. When we first came up with the idea for this event, it seemed so obvious that we were amazed that, to the best of our knowledge, no band has ever done it before, or at least not quite in this way, providing full-on backing for a thousand voices. Of course we didn’t really know what would happen or how best to represent it, so it was mostly guesswork and we are indebted to the many people who worked on the project but especially to everyone who came from all over the world, to sing their hearts out and share something really special. Whether we do it again remains an open question. For now, we hope these recordings give a true feeling of what occurred on those remarkable nights’.
