   About Tom Hingley and The Lovers


TOM HINGLEY AND THE LOVERS

...a band that have now been together for 7 years, The Lovers is the brainchild of Tom Hingley, lead singer of Inspiral Carpets, a band whom, along with The Happy Mondays and The Stone Roses defined everything that was good about the UK music scene at the beginning of the 1990s. Despite, or perhaps because of, over twenty top 40 hits, seven Top of the Pops appearances, a rock solid fan-base and successful tours all over the world, the Inspirals ran out of steam in 1995 and Hingley drifted into solo projects on the fringes of the pop mainstream. However, a chance encounter in 2001 with Steve Hanley, former bassist and longest serving musician with legendary Manchester band, The Fall, led Hingley and Hanley to join forces in The Lovers. Despite kids, mortgages and the onset of 40, both still shared an intense passion and desire to make, perform and record great music.

And so it was, with the addition of Steve's kid brother/former Fall drummer Paul Hanley, Farfisa/Hammond player Kelly Wood and ex This Gigantic World guitar maestro Jason Brown, that The Lovers started writing and recording their debut album, 'aBba aRe tHe eNemY', eventually released in 2004.

The Lovers have now released their second album. 'Highlights' which could be described as everything that 'aBba aRe tHe eNemy' was and everything that it wasn't. The dynamicism is still there, as is the fiercely strong drive behind the band, but this album also profers melodic bliss, sentimentality and more than its fair share of catchy pop. The songs touch on such universal themes as love ('Highlights'), Religion ('All Of My Time'), Lions ('Venomous') Credit Crunch ('Kick out The Clocks') and the pretentious Manchester district of Chorlton Cum Hardy, which Tom can't afford to buy a house in and is not all at all bitter about ('EverGreen')...The album's available from all good digital stores, including iTunes, and also from HMV if you're one of those people who likes to shop in a shop!

Nick Griffiths (leader of the BMP) and is coming to Barnsley this Thursday to spread his racist concept in our "as he probably sees it" poorly educated, politically dissatisfied town.

I personally think the BMP are just another distraction in the entanglement of manipulated politics which we in Britain
