In each of the 12 months of 2024, we look forward to unpacking the 'Labours Of Love' digital series, full of materials from our personal archive, including never-seen-before demos, live recordings, images, videos, and more!
Starting on Friday the 12th of January 2024, we're releasing a new four-track digital EP on all major download and streaming platforms on every second Friday of every month. This will be followed by a documentary series via CZcams, with each Episode releasing on the last Friday of every month throughout the year.
Spanning across four decades, the twelve episodes of the series will give all Hue And Cry fans extensive access to behind-the-scenes content, for a full exploration into our memories from working together, performances, experiences, and most importantly, the music. We hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed making these treasured treats! - Zábava
Coming from Berlin, you were the reason I started studying at Glasgow University and took lessons in English with your guitar player‘s Cousin. Changed my life for ever. Fell in love with Glasgow and your music ever since. Only after listening to your debut album. Obviously music I was searching for throughout the eighties. So much respect and love and gratefulness to the two of you. Thanks for doing this series.

This is fantastic..thanks lads ..without sounding like a stuck record ..the most criminally underrated band ever ...an exemplary era of music
So wonderful to hear about this!
Growing up in Sweden, I didn't know anything about this.
I could buy Smash Hits now and then, but I wasn't able to listen to foreign radio or television.
Amazing how easy we get information nowadays... 😄
Great video, I had the cassette tape of labour of love and nearly wore it out listening to it - wide screen & goodbye to me on it as well, all for £1.49
Me also !

Remote album......were it started for me.....absolute top band
The next Episode is for you then Michael! GK
Ive still got my black Hue and Cry T shirt for the Seduction tour at the Pavillion Glasgow!! Dont know if it will fit me now right enough!! :)
www.patreon.com/HueAndCry Hi David, that was a quality T-Shirt if it's lasted this long! There's memorabilia from the "Seduction Tour" u speak on our Patreon site. If you fancy a deeper dive into our archive, then please join us on our PATREON site www.patreon.com/HueAndCry GK
Thoroughly enjoying these films, keep them coming please guys! Couldn't believe the quality of the Radio 1 playlist back then, so many classic songs - being in that company with Prince, Crowded House etc, I teach primary kids to songwrite and when they ask me about my favourite songs I always tell them that I like songs about stuff where the lyrics have something to say - this is why I was drawn to Hue & Cry, quality lyrics/musicianship/vocals/production, super excited to see you and the band in Tramshed, Cardiff 👍

Fascinating background to "Labour of Love" and the Seduced and Abandoned album. I personally think the follow-up single "Strength to Strength" is terrific (as is the single remix of "I, Refuse"). I've always thought the ballad "Human Touch" would have been a good radio-friendly record, but you never put that one out. Would love to hear it live in November.
I've loved your music from the beginning and have all your albums. Saw you unplugged at Sale Waterpark 10 plus years ago. You are both very talented. I remember Gregory saying Pat could sing the phone book and make it sound good. Labour of Love is one of my wife's favourite songs. We were married in 86 and are still together and have just watched your video. Congratulations boys 🎉
www.patreon.com/HueAndCry Thank you Paul. I remember that gig in Sale. It seems like a very nice place to live. GK. If you fancy a deeper dive into our archive, then please join us on our PATREON site www.patreon.com/HueAndCry
Love this, the clarity of recall, 40 years down the line, make this so compelling. To hear the first hand experiences that underpinned that first year you appeared on our screens is wonderfully insightful.
Thank you Stewart. In order to make these videos happen I've built dated, evidence based timelines for every episode ... my bro thought I was over thinking it! ... But I couldn't do these videos without knowing the exact history of events ... Thank you for recognising the "clarity of recall" ... means a lot to me. GK

Still loving the music to this day. Favourite gig(s) has to be Remote Weekend back in 2014 - we were lucky enough to be front and centre for the unplugged night on the Friday and then the meet & greet then full big band show on the Sat night. RIP O2 ABC Glasgow.
www.patreon.com/HueAndCry Thank you Steven. I was gonna post the poster for the Remote Weekender in this reply, but CZcams doesn't offer the facility. You're gonna have to deep dive into our archive and join us on our PATREON site to see it and hear live recordings from that gig. 'Under Neon' live is so funky! GK www.patreon.com/HueAndCry
Big fan way back in the day and to this day 👍

This was a fantastic episode - so much happened in a short space of time - almost hard to believe some of the breaks - like a Hollywood screenwriter got a bit too high one night and just stretched the plausibility a bit to much. Don't beat yourself up for flying on Concorde - a beautiful dream of transport at the time - and Exxon Mobil were still busy burying the truth on climate change except for the really well-informed. Amazing the amount of continental flights you racked up in-between playing the media gigs and trying to get the first album completed. All worth it though - 'Seduced and Abandoned' still stands up today to plenty of re-listening. The video for 'Labour of Love' still works in that quirky, smart off-kilter way! Who knew that the Cinzano advert would have a link in there!
Look forward to see you in Cardiff later on this year. Keep up the great videos in this series!

Was there at Wembley!
www.patreon.com/HueAndCry Hi Matt, I was gonna reply with a photo of Wembley stadium from August 1987, but CZcams doesn't provide the facility to do that in comments. You're gonna have to deep dive into our archive to see it. Sorry ;) It's on our PATREON site www.patreon.com/HueAndCry ... please join us. GK
12 year old me saw Labour of love on TOTP, got on the bus to school and remember talking about it! Bought the single and the rest is history ☺️
www.patreon.com/HueAndCry Aw Jenny, thank you. I watch how my 11 year old celebrates the likes of Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift ... music still has a powerful affect!. GK. If you fancy a deeper dive into our archive, then please join us on our PATREON site www.patreon.com/HueAndCry

I'll dig out that cassette this evening and give it a blast ! Didn't know you supported my countrymen U2 that summer, when they were bigger than God. Looking forward to more of your chats

Fantastic stuff, I remember Greg bought a very powerful car back in the day... I was a car nut, I made the mistake of going for a whirl with him around the Saltmarket in it... It was an experience.
I had to get my advance driving licence in order to get insurance for them! ... I'm a much safer driver because of that :) www.patreon.com/HueAndCry ... If u want a deeper dive into our archive, then please join us on our Patreon site. GK www.patreon.com/HueAndCry
@@HueAndCryMusic That's G... I think you said at the time it was one of the fastest 4 cylinder engine-d cars on the planet at that time? It was great fun, thanks for the music and memories
That was Wonderful. Thank you for making these

"I'm going to play the count-off 'cause I've got a recording of Tony..."
"Gregory, that doesn't surprise me" 😆
Absolutely loving hearing your stories. Seduced and abandoned holds such great memories of being a teenager in the 80s .
www.patreon.com/HueAndCry Thank you Lanza. It was a tough album to get over the line, but immensely proud of it. GK If you fancy a deeper dive into our archive, then please join us on our PATREON site www.patreon.com/HueAndCry

What's the story behind the re-recording of Labour of Love for the american market with.. an american accent :D:D?
Fab
Great stuff gents. Fascinating episodes so far. Looking forward to hearing more about the infamous lost 3rd album (I remember you performing some of the songs at a gig in Birmingham in late 1989). Hoping that album will be available in digital form at some point. Cheers!
Do you remember some track of that ghost album?
@@MarcoRaimondi-it If i remember correctly, there was "Second Nature" (which can be found here: czcams.com/video/vNFkrZaCTeQ/video.html) and a song called "We Shall Overcome" + others I can't recall.
@@jonjuan2020 maybe “The survivors”

PS Come and play Prague !
👍👍
Can you help me with the lyrics for Just one word?!
Can't get the word before 'the girl with the red hair'
Loving this whole series. Do you have a whole version of "The Market Requires"?
Although H&C started one of their concerts with that song, it curiously remained out of “stars crash down”. Maybe Greg can explain why 😊
It is a very worth song.
www.patreon.com/HueAndCry ... Hi Weegeo. I do have a whole studio version of it on 1/4" tape! But I need to get it transferred as I don't have a 1/4" machine to play it on ... The archive on our PATREON site will be an ever evolving history of H&C. I have about 6 unreleased tracks I need to transfer from 1/4" tape, once I've done them, they'll appear on PATREON.

@@MarcoRaimondi-it Thanks for asking Marco. As u know we had written 12 pop/funk tracks for a new album after 'Remote', but the record company rejected them all. They didn't want a pop/funk album ... they wanted something more 'chilled' from us ... hence Stars Crash Down. GK
