The Hamish Stuart Band / Real Live

Hamish Stuart, well-known as the falsetto voice behind The Average White Band, ensured his universally acclaimed songwriting talents in 1980's. He wrote the No. 1 hit "Whatcha Gonna Do For Me?" for Chaka Khan in 1981.
Six years after Hamish disbanded The Average White Band, Hamish started his new blue-eyed soul band "Easy Pieces" with Australian awesome female singer Renee Geyer, Steve Ferrone (ex AWB drummer) and top session bass player Anthony Jackson and released the album "Easy Pieces" in 1987 under A&M Records, unfortunately unsuccessful commercially. Then, Hamish joined Paul McCartney's band with whom he worked for six years clocking up numerous world tours and five albums along the way. In 1999, Hamish released his own solo album "Sooner Or Later" with the six supporting band members.
On the night of Monday and Tuesday 21st and 22nd of February 2000, The Hamish Stuart Band recorded shows at the 606 Club in Chelsea London, running tie lines from Snake Ranch Studios (located above the club) and the results are here ! Hamish played three AWB tunes; "Work To Do", "Got The Love", "Person To Person", an Easy Pieces' tune; "Tuggin' At My Heartstrings and three tunes from the album "Sooner or Later".
