LIONEL DIGBY PRESENTSAQUILLA: The View From Here LIVE!

Legendary music promoter Lionel Digby brings one final show to Torquay, and proudly presents an evening with the South West's premier rock band: AQUILLA, who will be performing their new studio album The View From Here LIVE in its entirety from start to finish.

Celebrating life's journey, friendship and hope for the future, step inside the story of the album and take a journey to a distant empire.

If you're a fan of the big arena rock acts from the late 70's and early 80's (such as Foreigner, Journey and The Eagles) then there's a very good chance you'll enjoy this show.

Post performance the band will be in the foyer to meet and chat to guests, plus the album with be on sale.

This event will also be taking charitable donations throughout the evening for the Children's Hospice South West

The band:

AQUILLA are a dynamic rock band held in the highest regard by their peers. Made up of 5 former professional musicians (who all hail from Devon) they perform both unique rock covers and original material with a powerhouse live concert style sound.

Influenced by the big AOR bands of the late 70's (including Kansas, Boston and Toto) the band also draw their live sound from the likes of Wishbone Ash, Paul Rodgers and Gary Moore.

They are known to many fellow musicians and gig goers for their sumptuous vocal harmonies and powerful twin guitars. Each of the band members have toured the UK and Europe at various times during their respective careers.

In September 2023 the guys (to high acclaim) supported the legendary Wishbone Ash at the Exeter Phoenix, and they returned there in June 2024 as special guests to funk rock icons The Blockheads.
