After 9 years, hundreds of gigs and much laughter and happiness it is time for the good ship mohair to pull into the harbour for one last time. It will then be broken up for scrap and the old sea dogs will be returned to their loved ones for a jolly good scrub.
We feel mohair has gone as far as it can and it is time to lay it to rest. We will look back on the years and be forced to smile as we watch the videos of our various adventures around the world. We can listen to the hours of music we have created together and we can remember the familiar faces that greeted us wherever we went.
The forthcoming dates will be the last mohair gigs and we plan to add a VERY LAST gig somewhere as a fitting send off.
The four of us are still as strong a unit as we ever were and we don't intend to end our musical journey together just yet. The future brings new things, much of which we haven't worked out yet. Suffice to say, keep a look out.
All that needs to be said now is a massive thank you to everyone for their unwavering love and support. You don't know how much it has meant to us over the past few years.
It's a shame that we feel stranded in the middle of nowhere but that's life. However, we aren't in disarray, we intend to keep it together and create something new out of thin air. The little voice inside tells us to pick up the broken pieces and to stop-start again. We hate to drop this bombshell but ladies and gentlemen……….this is the end of the line.
we've started putting up bits and pieces from the past few tours on Youtube that we found lying around our hard drive... including acoustic performances in America and some rare Razorlight performance stuff.
go to www.youtube.com and search Mohair... best then to hit the "sort by: Date Added" button.
