Despite the long history of world-famous albums being made in the Bahamas, very few international artists have performed there.

The island nation, sitting between Cuba and the state of Florida, with strong historic links to Britain dating back to the 17th Century, became a sovereign member of the Commonwealth in 1973, and in 1977 Island Records founder Chris Blackwell established the legendary Compass Point Studios in Nassau, where the likes of ACDC, Robert Palmer, the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Talking Heads and more recorded over the years.

In 1983 Iron Maiden recorded their fourth album Piece Of Mind at Compass Point Studios, and continued to record there for both their Powerslave and Somewhere In Time albums in the 1980s. In 2010 they returned to Nassau and Compass Point Studios once again for the recording of The Final Frontier album.

This show, supported by Tony Moore’s Awake, takes place just before British Lion join the line-up for the five-day Monsters Of Rock cruise in the Caribbean, which runs from April 12th – 17th.
