Happy New Year from all at Harvey.

2006 looks set to be a good year for Harvey. Sam is nicely settled in to uni and we now feel comfortable to pick up where we left off before she started her course. We have started to write and rehearse new material which should be ready to gig in the summer. Thank you for all your support while we've been away.

Well, the festival weekend was excellent, we all had a great time, thanks to the organisers of both Priddy Folk Festival and Faringdon Arts festival for their hospitality. Now it�s time to get back to the studio, where we will be recording a one off track for a cd consisting entirely of one minute songs �Fancy A Quickie Too� (Click for link), compiled by (ir)responsible artists based in Bath. We will also be completing the filming for our music video (for the track Helping Hand). So as you can see, it�s all go in the Harvey camp at the moment! We�ve received a lovely review on the �Worship and Tribute� website (formally Muscit) and you can see that by going to the reviews page.
