It is with great pleasure that The Mixed Up World of Herbal T joins in the celebration of the work of Paul Haig, one of the greatest voices of the post-punk - or for that matter - any era.

"For those of you who don't know why a number of us are doing all of this today, it has its genesis in some unhappy times back in Spring 2009 when this and many other blogs were being bombarded with all sorts of dmca notices that led to postings and accompanying mp3s being removed without warning. One such incident on The Vinyl Villain involved a Paul Haig posting and a few days later, completely out of the blue, I received an email from Paul's manager saying that they were both bemused by the whole thing given they were the copyright holders of the track and hadn't made any demands for a takedown. Furthermore, Paul was in fact totally relaxed about bloggers promoting him and his work through making mp3s freely available.
As a way of saying thank you for these words of support, I asked if folk would be interested in designating April 6th as Paul Haig Day when we would collectively write about him and make some songs available. It proved to be a success, and so I thought it worth repeating the venture in 2010."
I offer you the following:
Paul Haig - Atmosphere (Joy Division Cover)
Paul Haig - Theme From The Persuaders

..and when you have listened and like what you hear - support the artist and go buy more of his music, you will not be disappointed.
