[rec.music.gaffa] Homeground 41

sre017@cck.cov.ac.UK (**ANDY**) (04/20/91)

I've just received Homeground 41 this morning!!
Latest Album News:A release for the end of this year is hoped.
Latest Tour:'At the Convention in November 1990 Kate expressed the hope that
tour dates would be announced early this year.That has not happened,but it is
apparent that preparations are still going ahead behind the scenes.CBS in the
USA have been primed,and at least one major US promotions firm  has claimed it
has already been asked to handle the merchandise,though we think that might be
a teensy-weensy bit premature!Contacts have been reported with the Henson
Creature Shop in London-and the mind boggles as to what that implies!The
official position remains as stated by Kate at the convention-that if all goes
to plan the dates are likely to be at the end of 1991.'
Irish Music Programme:As I mentioned the Series starts on 26th July on BBC2,a
record though will be released on 21st May,and book on 30th May.Homeground
says she will appear in at least one of the shows,I can't wait!The possibility
of new music is mind-blowing!
Finally Homeground has joined the world of computers,you will now have a sub
number like the KBC.This will be put on your snazzy address label.

What "HG Towers" now needs is a modem, communications software for a
PC and a mail feed in the UK...

Actually, Peter wrote to me a while back and said that they were wondering
how they could actually get on the Net and have direct access to Lovehounds.
I wrote back with a few suggestions but have not heard any more. I don't think
they have any immediate plans - costs will be one hurdle.
