Hold Me

Able Tasmans

Synopsis

Little surprise that this Able Tasmans single starts with an extended Graeme Humphreys piano intro - the band loved keyboards. The performance-based clip goes on to showcase the instrumental prowess of a band who were not afraid to throw in strings, horns and bagpipes, into the mix. Director Pip Anderton makes classy use of a constantly roaming camera, and most of the colours of the spectrum, amidst a set of purple and yellow chequered squares.

Righto - clip description amended; cheers for the clarification.

The two identities are distinctly held by the same person but when it came to the Able Tasmans it was always, and continues to be, Graeme Humphreys. Graeme Hill had nothing to do with it. The annotation to this clip is quite simply wrong.

Graeme Humphreys was Graeme Hill's "old" name - see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graeme_Hill

That's not Graeme Hill, that's Graeme Humpreys.
