Touched down last night from Heathrow, returning from “Blighty”, the scene of many memorable moments in the last eight days. Coney Hatch played Firefest in Nottingham on Sunday, Oct.23 and it was one of the best things we’ve ever done. There was excitement in the streets around the festival and in the room itself as the hour of our performance drew closer. Three days’ worth of AOR Rock bands drew people from 28 nations to this annual Festival, an example of the great loyalty of the fans of this music. Coney Hatch and our fans waited many years for this, and the crowd at Rock City went mad for us in the course of our first-ever English performance, an event nobody thought would ever happen. We responded with the best we had in us and these four old friends felt like a band again.
There are many people to thank for the great experience: Kieran Dargan and Bruce Mee for running such a well-organised tight ship; the production crew at every step of the way, including getting us on the stage; Phil Ashcroft for connecting us to Firefest. Most of all thanks to the fans who made us feel on top of the world again, maybe in a whole new way. You people rock our world!
