Everything But The Girl (occasionally referred to as EBTG) are an English musical duo formed in Kingston upon Hull in 1982, consisting of lead singer and occasional guitarist Tracey Thorn and guitarist, keyboardist, producer and singer Ben Watt. hey have had four top ten singles and twelve top forty singles in the UK. Until 2022, the band were inactive, and have not performed publicly since 2000. After the group’s disbandment, Thorn and Watt released solo albums, and had indicated that it was unlikely they would ever record together again as Everything But the Girl. However, in November 2022, Thorn announced that a new album had been recorded for release in spring 2023. Fuse, the band’s first new material in 24 years, will be released on 21 April 21, 2023. - wikipedia

Actually I’ve had a chance to listen to this now and I’ve changed my mind. It isn’t a Uriah Heep gig at all, it seems to be some wimps playing behind a woman who can’t carry a tune in a bucket. Please do better, you guys at HQ, or I’ll be forced to cancel my subscription.
