The return of Skin Côntact! They will be back in May.

Poster of their 1st performance: 9th March 2015


Skin Côntact, the wine trade's super-group headed by Richard Hemming now an MW, is back with a date sometime in May – to be revealed on 20th January.

Like Frank Sinatra and many other great musicians and entertainers they couldn't stay away! 

I understand that in the long and hallowed rock music tradition all the vocalists in Skin Côntact Mach 1 have been pensioned off to be replaced by a new set as yet unannounced. It remains to be seen whether the various permutations of Skin Côntact will in time be considered as an acceptable subject for an MW thesis.
