HEY HEY 16K TENTH ANNIVERSARY Mr Rob Manuel's amazing video for "Hey Hey 16K" was released 10 years ago this weekend, on 4 May 2004, and was the kick-off for all MANNER of larks and craziness. To celebrate this auspicious anniversary I'm reissuing the original single as a revised and updated Pay What You Want EP, available for the next seven days, which you can find at these locations: heyhey16k.com 1 mjhibbett.bandcamp.com/album/hey-hey-16k-10th-anniversary 3
As ever, any plugs, mentions, tweets or indeed PURCHASES would be most appreciated!
