The HTFib story - recent events

In March 2000, Mark and Marck spent an amazing weekend with Michael Marshall writing and recording. The result was the haunting "Falling down again" - a poignant and mesmerisingly produced piece of music that heralded a new direction and a new format for the band.

In June of 2001, Marck's partner Emily requested a 25th birthday party command reunion HTFib gig. Ali couldn't make it and Jules had gone his own way. So we got Michael to come in for the occasion and bring his old friend Greg to stand in on bass. Stand in??? It was an instant chemistry and suddenly the modern HTFib line up was born.

In the summer of 2004, the band celebrated Ali's return to the fold and played 2 gigs, the first at the Castle Inn, West Coker and the second at the Eagle Tavern on the A303. These gigs also saw the introduction of Bill Nabb to our line up. Bill had been a close friend of Michael and Greg for decades and a well established singer and songwriter in his own right.

Sadly, in the summer of 2006, Bill succumbed to brain tumours and is no longer with us. He will be missed, there is no doubt, by his family and friends (among whom we are proud to number) and his music will be missed by the world.

Guesting at the gigs was Karina Berry, who played some of her songs during the interval. Playing some unplugged songs at an open mike session at the Acoustic Cafe in Sidmouth landed the band a prime slot playing at Dukes for the 2005 Sidmouth Festival

Let's get definitive here - it is an acronym for Hit The F*ck It Button
