Subterranean - November 10

In the above photo, beneath one railway and overlooking another is a lone window. In the underworld behind it, spurred on by a procession rumbling, thundering locomotives, a new train set is being hammered into life. All might appear to be quiet right now on the Hackett front, but we're stoking the engine and creating a vibrant new set... Rob and Roger are exchanging healthy insults, Nick is rehearsing his latest costume, Gary is thrashing his drums and Amanda is head banging to the strains of a certain Hendrix riff.

Between rehearsals are interviews with the BBC, Planet Rock, Classic Rock magazine and Absolute Radio amongst many others, and I'm signing a whole bunch of our new Live Rail CDs... in preparation for when we all slam into action on the UK tour!
