Also knowing they don't like the Stereophonics to much neither I'm sure Nicky said that in Sep 1999 leading up to the MM gig.

I hate them too

Seeing James lift Nicky up on his shoulders at the end of the Brixton gig in 2007 is a favourite moment, but there are lots of other memories that bring a smile to my face so it's too hard to choose one!

I was about to say more or less the same thing. I discovered it in 99 and couldn't believe that it was the same band that caused me to switch stations everytime The Everlasting came on.

I was going to say the first gig and hearing Faster live for the first time, but none of the 12( i think) gigs that I've been to, would have happened if it wasn't for THB.

They had obviously developed a bit of a friendship with Stuart Cable in his post Stereophonics years but don't think they were ever close as bands/groups of people.
