HUNDRED SEVENTY SPLIT : the road

Hi ,

It’s a beautiful, sunny day here in Cardiff, but very cold. I’m staying indoors in the warm and taking the opportunity to sort out my bass gear ready for the 'The Road Tour 2015'… and making the difficult decision as to which bass to take this time. Ideally, I’d like to take all 18 on the road but I can’t: sometimes, when it comes to choice, less is more: well easier! Which ones would you like to see?
 
Our tour kicks off on March 13th in Germany and we'll be promoting our live CD 'The Road', which will be released there on 13th February. The CD was recorded in Europe during our October/November tour last year. 
 
On the 5th February we’re playing a one-off ‘CD pre-release’ party at Jagz, Ascot, Berkshire. I hope many of our UK friends will come along to hear us playing in the intimate atmosphere of a smaller venue. On the 9th February, we play 'The Giants Of Rock Festival' in Minehead; a coastal town in Somerset. Swimming in the sea, sadly, will not be on the agenda, though without doubt, it would be invigorating. We’re looking forward to meeting as many people as possible while we’re there, and will be out after the show to say ‘Hi’.
 
This year is going to be very exciting for us: we intend to tour as many new countries as possible: our agent is pencilling in schedules as I write. A number of North American shows are already confirmed and more are planned for July/August. We update the gig list regularly on our web site www.hundredseventysplit.com so please keep an eye out for upcoming shows in your area. 
 
Many people ask if HSS play Ten Years After songs as well our newer material. The answer is 'Yes of course' and we will enjoy playing some TYA songs for as long as fans want to hear them.
 
The music I recorded with Alvin Lee, in particular, has been the soundtrack to my life for over 50 years and, with the help of Joe and Damon, I intend to keep the spirit and the legacy of those songs alive. 
 
'Hundred Seventy Split' is a jam band and we’ll include a few different titles in our set list every time you come to see us.
 
Stay warm. Hope to see you out there on 'The Road'
 
Regards Leo
