HW: new album and sheffield gig

[Chris Bates]

I'm briefly delurking here...

Is it just me or has the list gone terribly quiet?
Anyway the new album is out and, as someone (Jon?)
predicted, it's in the 2 for 22 quid sale at HMV.
I've now got to sit with the thing in my briefcase
all day before I can listen to it :-(( Hey but then
I can annoy my kids before they go to bed tonight :-))

Haven't seen anything about the recent gigs - Big Mike
will be able to confirm a set list as he picked up a
copy on Sunday. I thought that the Sheffield show was
one of the best HW gigs that I've seen. Fantastic sound
- you could hear everything, great lights and projections.
The band is _really_ tight and personally I even liked
Capt Rizz. The biggest disappointment was the size of the
crowd. In fact crowd is a bit of an over-statement. There
must have been oh two or three hundred people there.
In a smaller venue it would've been great but the City
Hall holds 1800 and so looked empty.

Why was this tour so badly promoted and advertised?
A bit of forethought would _not_ have gone amiss. The
Ozrics are in town tonight: if they'd coordinated
their tours a HW/ Ozrics dual headliner would be a
fantastic prospect.

Right work to do... back to lurking
