Right on the mark, Crazy ! I should have said at the time in 1994 it was hard to crack the UK market....not now !

the years between 1987-1994 were pretty lean for me...didnt like anything new that i heard(probably why i missed the whole 'birth of grunge' thing), i only brought cds by artists i knew and trusted over that period.
i dont think the UK is a hard market to crack...always thought that the American market was the hardest for foriegners to make it in.
i guess the reason that the Throwing Copper thing didnt do too well in the UK at the time was probably because in 1994 the whole Britpop thing was happeining in the UK, bands like Blur,OCS,Radiohead,Stone roses,Suede,Weller and the emergance of a little band from Manchester(oasis) were hitting their straps and dominating the charts/airwaves...so little else had any chance of making it
...well, thats my two cents worth,anyway!
The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!
