The encore was:
Flow
Destroy The Heart
Real Animal
Blind
Welt
Shine On
You've Really Got A Hold On Me (which is on the Peel Sessions album)

Go here for a pretty good HOL web site:

As for Bickers, he's a manic depressive who got out of hand around about the time of the second album, and was fired from the band mid-tour. Seems that nothing was the same again for the HOL, and he went off on a drug crazed trip cuminating in on onstage breakdown when he was in Levitation. A few years in the wilderness followed (I heard he ended up washing dishes in Brighton), before he teamed up again with Chadwick a couple of years ago. There's a bit more too it, but I'm conscious of highjacking this thread!

Literally kicked out of the van at the motorway services for burning money and ranting at Chadwick, calling him a breadhead..
They were never really the same after he left - still had some good tracks (Purple Killer Rose is a favourite) and the gigs were alright but it all got a bit blah. I saw them at the RAH but gave up before they became a 3 piece (this ia all a bit familiar!)
I check that Swedish site from time to time, news is always frustratingly slow to come out tho :/

Didn't realise it was on the Peel album - must check it out again!

Last night at Koko, stunning show and they pissed all over the feeble JAMC

Wow - I'd forgotten all about them! - Nice one ...

- Time to delve into the 'archives' ...

Are we going to hear more?

well I'm interested, please continue

Me too ... Thanks Mothra
This was precisely what I had hoped for when I optimistically posted!
- The old 'grey matter' needs encouragement at my advanced age ...
