1977, 1980 and 2009. Those three years each contain the loss of a generation defining icon. Presley, Lennon, and now Jackson. What is it that makes them stand apart from other celebrities? The music? The performance? The looks? Or something else entirely? That something else is easily defined but rarely obtained. The total connection with an audience, the one true mecca of any musician ever to grace a stage. That unique moment when the shackles are broken and social, political and personal barriers degrade through a momentary harmonization. When the classes become class-less and the true, unquestioning joy becomes wholly apparent do we see the true power of this connective energy. It is beyond the reach of filthy record executives, puss sucking, cancerous journalists and greed obsessed parents, hell bent in exploiting there offspring in any way possible.
When an artist can transcend the media that created him, that's something pretty special and sadly, something we may never see the like of again

Hotel Bonanza
Tonight we play The Albert and Victoria hotel in Manchester!
So we got together last night to have a rehearsal and finalize the set for tonight. Very loud! Rob nearly lost an ear! He's a tough lad though.
It's full steam ahead with 'Birds v Plains' and the whole gig is for the launch of 'Hayley Fay Band's' single release.
See you there or your square! (and we'll miss you)
