Hatfield and the North – Bilston, Robin 2 – 25 September 2005
This was a sort of warm-up gig for Hatfield’s concerts in Japan in early October and the full UK tour that followed, and their first live performance since the European tour of June, undertaken with the support of Mark Fletcher as second drummer as Pip was having serious back problems. This marked the debut of the “Big Jobs / Going Up to People…” opening medley, replicating that of the first album, and “Fitter Stoke Has A Bath”. These is also an instrumental version of Alex’s “Psychic Warrior”, later matched with lyrics by Pip after Elton Dean’s passing in early 2006.
Many thanks once again to Martin Mycock for his recording!
Phil Miller – guitar
Alex Maguire – keyboards
Richard Sinclair – bass & vocals
Pip Pyle – drums
Lovely
Thank you! The first 2 files (intro & Big Jobs) are missing in the zip file though.
That’s true, but I included there here: https://richardsinclairsongs.bandcamp.com/album/robin-bilston
Thanks for pointing that out. It is now fixed.
Kyle, many thanks for fixing.
