Never anything short of a total pleasure being in the Netherlands for a show, and today is no exception. Tonight it's Groningen, and it's Noorderzon! We're taking the stage at 22:30, and we're playing all sorts, shapes and sizes. Til then! HH x

Thanks again to the fest for having us, and of course, to Mr. Cutler. You've gifted us something very special.
This won't be the last you hear of Life in a Scotch Sitting Room, Vol. 0 - that's a promise. Watch this space!
All my love, HH x

I can't tell you how much the three of us are going to treasure this. We've never performed a show remotely like it before, there was really no knowing how it would go, and it's thanks to your warm reception that we've woken up today feeling grateful, happy and humbled.

Hi all, HH here! It’s high time we released another one of our covers out into the wild I’d say. We’ve been sitting pretty on this one a while - calling all fans of Pet Shop Boys! And all fans of big, slow burns. Our take on ‘So Hard’ is OUT NOW pals! Lots of love, HH x
