I am now a member of Swell Maps. We are playing 2 nights in December Cafe OTO. My teenage self would be cockahoop.— Luke Haines Rock N Roll (@LukeHaines_News) October 6, 2021

Also starring David Callaghan from the Wolfhounds - perhaps a more appropriate recruit.

Wuh....? Without Nikki and Epic, isn't it more like a Swell Maps tribute band? I mean, still, I'd pay to see Luke and Dave and Jowe play together.

yeah — seems very odd to be calling it Swell Maps. Could be good, though?

I guess "Jowe Head Plays the Music of Swell Maps" doesn't sell as many tickets as calling it Swell Maps, is the reality behind this decision.

Here's the details
It's a bit like when the Bonzo Dog Band did those gigs with dozens of guests and half the surviving band.
