Word is likely out by now as we recently informed those who funded Fun & Games 25th Anniversary Vinyl Re-Issue that the release has had to be pushed back into 2022. Everyone's been great about it and thanks again for your patience. 1/
This is due to manufacturing issues that are evidently widespread. Rather than set new dates which are effectively beyond our control we think it best to hold off until we've the DHL guy's kicking the door in. 2/
We'd also like to make the best of the extra time this gives us all and have a few irons in the fire in terms of other things we'd like to do to mark Fun & Games big birthday. To that end we'd like to put a call out for anything/everything Hitchers related you may have from 3/
flyers, posters, tickets, clippings, photos to VHS' taped off the telly -even that which you may think we already have because it's on the internet -yours may well be better quality than the surprisingly limited array of media available to us currently. 4/thehitchers.bandcamp.com/track/at-the-s…
We'd also like to put the word out that we're keen to play in 2022 and keen to collaborate on things ...surprise us -and we may indeed surprise you.
This includes the album itself of course. This tweet alone tells you whatever the historical 5/
and subjective merits of our abilities to write and record music -we're still terrible at the whole shebang around releasing it. See also - PR, planning, marketing etc. So yeah, we need all the help and input we can get. Contact us here or at thehitchers at gmail. 6/6

Mark Coleman joined The Hitchers in Spring 1989. He didn’t know us (that’s Eoin, Niall and Hoss) before he turned up, nor we him. At that point we had done exactly two gigs. Both very different flavours of calamitous. We could never enthuse a guitarist to join. 1/ Image
There just wasn’t a lot for a guitarist to get their teeth into with us. So for our first gig a couple of guitarists from a bluesy cover band Niall was playing with covered the bases and for the second -with both those giving a firm and unequivocal "NO!" 2/
-Niall “played” guitar and begged The Tear Collectors drummer Gearóid to sit in on drums. That went about as well as you might imagine.
Then as March turned to April we met Mark who rocked up with his left-handed strat and homemade speaker cab. Can’t remember how. 3/ Image
