Hi everyone, HH here,
As some of you may already be aware, back in August, Andrew, Stefan and I performed a special commission piece for the Edinburgh International Book Festival. Titled ‘Life in a Scotch Sitting-room, Vol. 0’, it was a homage of sorts to the late great Scottish poet, Ivor Cutler.

Hi friends, HH here! We really are a lucky bunch, so don't mind if we do - sun, sea and sauna ahead of our set at Bergenfest in the beautiful Norwegian city of Bergen!
We've heard tell it's the rain capital of Europe, but they've rolled out the blue skies for us!
See you at 19:15! Love etc, HH x
