John Hirst (dms), Edd Carr (gtr), Christos Worsley (bs).
Splinter's policy of featuring a variety of bands seems to be working - each band bringing its own following who, hopefully, come back to catch other bands.
HCW pulled a decent crowd tonight and deservedly so. Since I first heard them at the Side Café 2/3 years back they have progressed as individuals and as a band,
Playing mainly original material they approach each tune with an almost suicidal attack plunging into the unknown. It is a journey to end all e journeys but they usually arrive home safely.
John Hirst's drum technique continues to evolve. Some of his solos tonight were breathtaking in their complexity. Likewise, Edd Carr is blowing just about everybody away in the jazz-rock field and Christos, less showy but musically as effective, impressed with his contributions on five string bass guitar (Christos uses a seven string lead and John played a relatively straight forward kit).
They have an E.P. due out that, despite its current elusiveness, should delight their following when it becomes available.
Watch out for HCW - they're on their way.
