about

A very limited edition CD available only from the band. In the strange days of 2020 and when circumstances allowed, the four Kettle family members of Merry Hell, Andrew, Bob, John and Virginia, managed to assemble for an evening of songs and stories. Talk turned to times past, reflecting on their history as both The Tansads and Merry Hell, as well as songs they have loved but rarely have the opportunity to sing. This disc is a record of those songs, recorded exactly as they were performed that night - with honesty in the music and truth in the words. We hope that you enjoy it. Please note that the album was recorded live, exactly as shown on the cover image - the sound quality does not match that of our studio albums but we are sure that you will enjoy both the music and the spirit in which it was made. Track listing: 1: Spirit Move 2: Big Wednesday 3: The War Between Ourselves 4: I Never Loved Anybody Like I Love You 5: She’s Not Gone 6: Up The Revolution 7: Pendle Hill 8: Hold You Tonight 9: Satisfied 10: Human Communion 11: Hey, Scotty!
