The Butterfly Ball And The Grasshopper's Feast is a vibrant and imaginative concept album by Roger Glover and a host of celebrated guest musicians. Inspired by the whimsical illustrations of Alan Aldridge’s 1973 book, this rock opera unfolds a colorful musical narrative, recorded at Kingsway Recorders in London during the summer of 1974.
This unique project showcases Roger Glover's masterful adaptation of classic storytelling into a rich tapestry of rock melodies and theatrical themes. Originally brought to life as an animated television series, the album remains a testament to 1970s creativity, making it a notable highlight in the discography of both Glover and his acclaimed collaborators.
