Hi Kevin,

Sorry, but I haven't been in touch with Taste productions for years, the
Brixton video was the only thing that I did with them. As far as I know, all
the Taste footage went to the band (I think Doug has it now) so there will be
no more Taste HW videos. That said, I'm sure that Taste will still release
Harvey's CDs and vids of other bands.

In so far as other footage goes, I filmed the band (all official, etc) at the
following gigs, all with one camera mounted on a tripod, but lets face it, at a
gig we've only got  one pair of eyes!:

Hemmel Hempstead Teepee tour 1992 *
Reading University, Teepee tour 1992
Brixton Acadamy (Taste vid)  1992
Kilburn National Ballroom  1992
Truro County Hall  April 1993  *
Agincourt Club, Camberly 1993
Brixton Acadamy 1993              *
Town and Country club 1993
Thames University,Slough 1993     *
Brixton Fridge, 1994
Borehamwood Alien Tour, 1995      * (Assassins is quite superb on this one)
Love in Space Promo video single 1997 (Mixed with Doug Smith & Tony Korlander)


Most of the above are pretty good, but the ones with the (*) I reckon are with
releasing, in part or whole. The best of the lot is the Slough 1993, the gig
where Business Trip was recorded, even though it is only one camera, I had
 mixing desk sound, and the light show was very bright.

The trouble is, I can't release them without permission from the band. Likewise
the band can't put them out without my permission (no problems in that
respect!), and no-way will I copy them for anybody - ha! Even though I am not
contractually obliged, I am  morally obliged not to make copies.

So if anybody wants to see some footage from recent years, put some pressureon
the band/management - who knows?
