New song preview friends!
Check out “Upturned” in the soundcloud player, right. (or go here)
There was a point, marked clearly in one of my notebooks early on, where this song was going to be called “cover her upturned face in burning kisses – part III” … but saner and wiser heads prevailed. The story is still a story though – kind of a fairytale… inspired part by Murakami and part by Wodehouse.

Yes, insert uptempo comment about snow, crampons, yuletidings and the whole sherry mid-afternoon in front of Roger Moore thing. Whilst the egg nog simmers on the stove, here’s a revisit from the AFH tune bunker… Click on “Silent Nites” on the new player, right… Kind of inspired by Kay Starr and the possibility of a Christmas gone awry…
Happy holidaze! AFH x

Escaping the labyrinth!
November 28th, 2009 · Playing Records in Sequences
Well, what a well dressed peacocking and friendly bunch were the assembled throng at the Curzon Midnight Movie showing of Labyrinth last night… Afh judged the mood as requiring a blend of scritti politti, Ryan Paris, human league and by the end the 14th consecutive 80s revival was definitely in full swing 
thanks to Nadia and all you pretty things… X

Thanks… and next…
October 26th, 2009 · Live shows, Playing Records in Sequences
Thanks to everyone who came to AFH’s show at Beyond Retro on Saturday… Resisted the urge to butcher Bowie’s “Fashion”, and the warm coat selection was exemplary so a win all round we think. More pics from the talented Steve Brummel in the Gallery…
Enter the Labyrinth!
Next live show to be scheduled but AFH will be DJing at the Soho Curzon Cinema’s “Late nights” on 27th November, which is (reads from card) “Labyrinth Masquerade” themed… More details will be up soon on the Curzon’s facebook page: link

Most exciting! AFH will be playing a little acoustic, single-song set (nano-gig? ach, whatever…) for BalconyTV, on the LockLounge balcony on Tuesday 15th September. It’s the end of the summer but there’s still time for a wedding song we think…
Link: BalconyTV. We’ll post the video up here once the nice people at BalconyTV have put it up… For now here’s what it was like singing to a month’s rain in a single nacht! Pictures by the superbly waterproof slash diligently dry Nicholas Tucker!
