the thought. "We trv to take it hi stride,

of i oines as a shot k, plasmg so mans
gigs in so mans new and different

always thought that we were too
scruffy, that we had no image. It's
ironic now, because a lot of record
companies ate looking for hands that
look like us. Four seats ago dies didn't
want to have anything to do with us and
now thev're looking for bands that
look like Hie Farm!"
\nd thev're listening tot hands that
sound like them.
“Altogether Now' has been a hit in
about seven or eight European
commies, all at different times of the
