This is our first live EP release performing some of my 'Cactuar Collections - Disc One' versions of tracks from Final Fantasy VII, performed & recorded in front of a live audience as a 2-piece consisting of myself on guitar, keys and electronics/laptop, and my good pal James 'Mole' Glazier on drums:

FFVII - In Search of the Man in Black (Live at RMH)
FFVII - Reunion (Live at RMH)
FFVII - Red XIII's Theme (Live at RMH)
FFVII - Under the Rotting Pizza (Live at RMH)
This was a sort of cheeky, un-official first Cactuar Collective live appearance. An official CC booking has still yet to happen; I'm working on that still, at the time of writing.
For this show, we were actually booked as my alias Luo, supporting UK electronic 2-piece AK/DK at Ramsgate Music Hall, courtesy of Mother Brain Bookings - awesome venue & awesome people!

For the first half of our set, we played my solo tunes & Luo material; for the 2nd half, we transformed into our Cactuar Collective alias & turned the remainder of our set into an FF7 covers/tribute show!
Some audience members were aware this was gonna happen ahead of time as I'd mentioned it on Luo's IG, and this was a really nice intimate gig, with everyone jamming out right in front of us. Even better was that Mother Brain Bookings recorded the entire thing in high quality, enabling me to mix & produce this Live EP from those recordings.
This serves as another little taster (in addition to the Full-Band Cactuar Collective Videos) of what my full show idea would be like!
