HAVEN

Warm spirals of synchronicity caused HAVEN to crash-land in Manchester via

St Just Cornwall . Quickly they found their feet and voices as well as a

devoted fan base following a joyous residency at the legendary Night and Day

Cafe. Soon after Radiate Records (Virgin) swooped down and asked them to

sign on the dotted line. The band immersed in sweet sonics at Clear Studios,

watched over and encouraged by the inspirational Johnny Marr. 2003 dawned

beautifully with the release of the timeless and exquisite Between the

Senses album hurling HAVEN into all corners of the planet where they were

repeatedly met with critical acclaim, wild applause and their fair share of

rock n roll misadventure.



Next up, the band assembled at RAK studios to put down some strident second

album tracks with producer Dave Eringa. Soon after, a slight hiatus happened

in the Haven story when guitarist Nat Wason unfortunately suffered a severe

attack of Bells Palsy. It is an illness that often results in a slow

recovery so here, the band took some time out for Nat to get better.



A second episode of recording ensued with Johnny Marr and this coalesced

with the Eringa sessions to create the All for a Reason album .This second

collection of songs proved the band had an enduring capacity to create

breath-taking music. This album of intense romantic yearning coupled with a

pioneering sense of musicality provided a lucid, impressive second chapter

in the bands history.
