make sure you claim commission off me laddo when you see that adorning t-shirts next Spring

Top news all round, not least if you live in Southern Germany though I'm sure the list will grow. Wonder what an equivalent tour of the People's Republic would look like? Actually no I don't, the KLF already did that.

"European gigs planned early next year"

When asked for more details, they just put:

"March I think and all that was said was ‘Europe’"

Could be something, could be nothing, just throwing it out there!

First gig Charlie for you to attend? Uk a possibility?

Oh i know, it's been on my mind constantly since the rumours came out, would i be able to go, would i not?! Can i do it?!
Logistically, unless they do Leeds, which i doubt they will, it's probably a no anyway.

I feel pretty certain we will see more UK dates this time. And probably some in Spain aswell. Time will tell very soon.

if they dont play Leeds i know for a fact that Smiley sister, elamanamou, emma-peel-wanna-be and the rest of the coven wont take you saying no for an answer....

Well, there is half a chance that the snow and elk will have retreated north from Leeds by April or May as well. We can only live in hope and I can promise you that the good ladies (mine's a pint please), mentioned above by my brother, are great company for a gig. If there is a northern gig in another city nearby I feel confident that a few of said girls will be found there too.

Here's the first of next years dates:

20.03.2020 Nürnberg, Loewensaal
21.03.2020 Saarbrücken, Garage
23.03.2020 Frankfurt/M., Batschkapp
24.03.2020 Ulm, Roxy
29.03.2020 Karlsruhe,Tollhaus
According to the German music magazine "Sonic Seducer“.


EDIT: Tickets here

Oh good grief I am going to broke if this carries on

If they schedule anything in the few days prior to these announced dates, I think my spring break plans may be made...

Leeds 10th March 2020

Manc 07,Bristol 08th,Leeds 10th, Notts 11th

oh god oh god oh god!



I feel excited and sick in equal measures, i don't know what to do!

Leeds tickets not on sale till Friday, so i need to think!

Get tickets. Go. Meet up with a whole host of HLers who will be more than happy to say hello & have a drink with you

Obvious really.

Leeds for me. Obvs.

Leeds and Nottingham for me. Bristol if I have enough annual leave left.

What Pista said. We're friendly even if some of us have developed a taste for purple Guinness!

I know, you must all think i'm mad, it's so hard to explain.

I've never been to a gig, ever, of any band, anywhere, my anxiety is so bad.

People are a large part of that anxiety - and a massive room full of people is about as bad as it gets.

That's just one part of it, i'm not gonna go into it all and bore you, but for me to do this, is gonna be a massive undertaking!

So anyway, plan is i'll try to get a ticket for Leeds when they come up for sale (even that's giving me anxiety cos i have no clue what i'm doing! ) then i'll just have to take it from there and try to get my head round actually doing this.

I will probably need help/advice and i will have a LOT of questions, but i'll leave that for now, let's see if i get a ticket first!

And thank you again everyone for being lovely and supportive, it's partly down to you all that i can actually consider going at all.

Well, drat. Those are just a little too early. But now I'm pretty confident they'll be playing somewhere during the week I'm off. Pretty pleased by all this.

you've come to the right place Charlie -the Heartland Effect is legendary. And although i know anxiety caused by crowds isnt necessarily down to fearing for your own personal safety, you seriously couldnt be any safer or more looked after than if you were with any of us lot.

Charlie I hope to see you in Leeds x

This is brilliant, too much excitement 😁😁 how on earth can I convince my husband we have to get back to the uk so soon...hmmmm 🤣
