	...so I hot-foot it from the West End to the East End and soon find myself at the Hoxton Bar & Kitchen - not a bad venue apart from the lack of different beverages available in pints. I arrive with a few minutes to spare before Dirty Harry hit the stage. It's good to see Harry playing more regular shows now she's back living in London. Hopefully with plenty of gigs she'll start to rebuild her somewhat neglected fanbase in the UK, and maybe her latest album will actually get a proper UK release? For the time being, the live shows are going well, although the sound mix leaves a bit to be desired tonight. The band is coming together nicely, and a keyboard player has recently been added along with bassist Adam Hammond and ex-Towers Of London guys Rev and Snell on guitar and drums. Fortunately, the more electro and pop influences in Dirty Harry's recorded output get blown away live and the gigs are full on rock shows! It looks like Harry could be going to become a bit of a 'Hoxton Heroine' as she has another show coming up round the corner soon - although in a venue with rather less class than this one...
