Hi all,

A good and busy February and March for us, firing on a number of well-oiled cylinders.

We're looking forward to appearing on mainstream telly in a few days time (Friday 13th) when we will be on the ITV show Loose Women, performing one of our classics, and having a friendly chat with those formidable ladies. (Hoping Jakki Brambles is on the show - we once did an acoustic gig for Jakki live on Radio One in the 90's)

We're also making ourselves fully available to you, and giving you stuff for nothing this month. The first bit is our live on-line chat at The Hue And Cry Music Club. Just log in at 7.30pm on Monday 16th Feb, come to the chat room, and help us with a burning issue: what should our setlist be for this tour? We have our ideas, and we bet you have yours. Let's share.

Also on the same day we'll be putting up a free music download of Fireball, and our stylish new video for the song for you to watch - featuring dancing girls, animation sequences, corporate skullduggery and the most-kick-ass power Glamazon you ever did see!

Finally, don't forget that The Hue And Cry Collection is out this week - with a fascinating mix of classic songs, rare b-sides and never-before-heard mixes. Looking forward to see you all out there on the Open Soul???Open Road tour - camphones at the ready!
