A gig held at The Golden Lion on Friday 25th September. The event starts at 20:00.
'Colours Simple' is Case Hardin's fourth long playing record, but it's really a record of three's... it's the third made by the core band of (l-r) Tim Emery, Jim Maving, Andy Bastow & Pete Gow and their third as recording artists for Clubhouse Records.
Support from local Folkers"Beyond Rivers" who confess that they"... LIKE TO PLAY MUSIC FOR YOU TO LISTEN TO. "
You cant argue with that.

'Colours Simple is an album lovers album, where characters tumble into each other for better or (mostly) worse, stoires and ideas spilling out into the night like drunks from a bar' Andy Fyfe Q/ Mojo
It is also more prosaically - the third Case Hardin record with the word'three' in a song title.. 'Three For The Road' (Some Tunes For Charlie Spencer 2007), 'Three Beautiful Daughters' (PM - 2013) and now'These Three Cities'.... a casual recoounting of a bar- stool conversation with a Dubai prostitute over the merits of Phil Spector as a record producer... we've all been there?
Case Hardin take their name from Boston Teran's noir thriller'God Is A Bullet' (Pan 2000). In the finest tradition of naming groups, it came about by virtue of being little more than a character name in the book songwriter Pete Gow was reading when the call came through that they had secured their first gig; necessity was, as is so often the way, the mother of invention on that day.
But can the name and the naming be written off so casually? To'case harden' means to toughen by experience . and the'Gow, Emery, Bastow, Maving' nucleus of Case Hardin has toughened its look, toughened its direction, its sound and toughed it out through various musicians who came and went over the years.
2012's'PM' album stood, in the critics eyes, as a high point. A benchmark for a band firmly'in the pocket', providing perfectly poised musical vehicles for the work of a songwriter who unmistakably'arrived' .

It seems Case Hardin is all about the story and the telling of that story. In concert Gow's songs are carried by the power of that band, unswervingly dedicated to being in the service of those songs.
'Incredible Case Hardin rock harder than most' Maverick Festival 2015
A Case Hardin live show is a multi- faceted beast. Gow solo? A duo? Acoustic or a full tilt four piece, sometimes augmented by regulars and pick- up musicians alike. Each night the songs are different, they have to be... framed for the audience... or the band or the mood often all three.
No biography on Case Hardin can be completed without a mention in dispatches for those who served... Hana Piranha, Adam Kotz, Del Skinner, Paul'Billy Bob' Thornton, Ian Cadge.
Without whom etc, etc
