I wonder
when we can expect Harmony 7,8,9 and 10 then.
"Which works out at, what, three and a half songs a year? "
considering he had a brain embolism or something a few years back, it's not so bad...
I thought
it was some kind of pneumonia or something?
Anyway - hurrah for Jason! hes lovely.
oh yeah
i was thinking of edwyn collins. still, ouch.
I have high hopes for this
the new material played on the acoustic mainlines tours was brilliant; especially soul on fire, sitting on fire and death, take your fiddle.
just need a scottish date now....
That would be good at dot to dot
hope they're on reasonable late (and somewhere fairly big).
Death Take Your Fiddle
That's an intriguing title.
And seeing as how I've seen SPZ 5 times, in 5 different cities I should be able to extend this run if I go and see them in Sheffield!
they're not
on a Major anymore then?
nah. they got dropped from bmg several years ago
the last album came out on sanctuary, now sanctuary have gone bust, it's little surprise mr pierce has set his own label up. he's normally very keen to keep as much money to himself as possible.
