Corrected from a previously-assumed 16 Mar: the HIS Newsletter No 2 tour itinerary (contemporaneous with the tour) lists New Morning, Paris on Monday 14th March, and 14 Mar 1994 was indeed a Monday; the recorded setlist (Hot Cat On A Tin Roof; Make It With You; No Mercy; Mr Insignificant; Story Of He And She; Golden Brown; Stop; You're So Sexual; I Can't Handle It; Wasted Tears; Grip; Jesus Will Weep; Peaches; My Kind Of Loving; When It Blows It's Stax; Interview) is presumed to belong to this date

Per the HIS Newsletter No 2 tour itinerary. Per Hugh's own account in the HIS Newsletter No 3 (May 1994), this was the best gig of the tour and its last date: "two thousand students in ball gowns and bow ties all going wild and dancing on the rows of desks"

"Don't Forget Your Toothbrush" TV show appearance (Chris Evans, with Jools Holland's band); played "Peaches" coupled with a new arrangement of "Sweets 4 My Sweet" (recorded during the *Wired* sessions but never finished) after clearance for a planned "I've Got You Under My Skin" cover fell through — per the HIS Newsletter No 3 (May 1994), which vaguely dated it "around Easter 1994" (Easter Sunday fell on 3 Apr). A HIS Newsflash (10 Mar 1994) had first announced a Saturday 12 Mar broadcast, but a follow-up HIS Newsflash (16 Mar 1994) reports that date changed, with the show "now either going to be on 2nd or 9th April, to be confirmed" — consistent with Newsletter No 3's later "around Easter" description, so 2 or 9 Apr (not 12 Mar) is treated as the actual air date, though which of the two is not resolved

Television appearance, singing "The Tender Trap" and "Last Bus To Babylon"; per the HIS Newsletter No 4 (Aug 1994), originally billed as "Live And Uncut" and scheduled for 22 Jul, then postponed a week. Date independently corroborated in the HIS Newsletter No 5 (Nov 1994) by a member recalling "29th July, I believe", and by a HIS Newsflash (26 Jul 1994) reporting in real time that the 22 Jul date "DID NOT HAPPEN" and was rescheduled to 29 Jul

Barry Avenue. Date confirmed directly by a Daily Mirror gig-guide listing found on the British Newspaper Archive: "Windsor Old Trout, Barry Avenue... Hugh Cornwell (Oct 6, 8pm)". A HIS Newsflash (16 Sep 1994) had this date listed as tentative ("subject to confirmation or change"); the touring line-up that autumn was Hugh plus six, including Ted Mason (guitar) and Paul Gunter (percussion). Three other tentatively-listed October dates on the same Newsflash — 2 Oct Cambridge (Boat Race), 4 Oct London (Orange), 5 Oct Milton Keynes (Woughton) — were explicitly cancelled and correctly do not appear here

Per a member photo published in the HIS Newsletter No 6 (Apr 1995), captioned "taken at City Hall, Salisbury on 10th October 1994"; the venue was still "to be confirmed" per a HIS Newsflash (16 Sep 1994), which lists this date as tentative

Per the HIS Newsletter No 5 (Nov 1994), Robert Elms' GLR show "Listed Londoner" also carried a live spot with Hugh and the band this same Tuesday. Listed as tentative on a HIS Newsflash (16 Sep 1994)

Per a Kent & Sussex Courier listing (7 Oct 1994) on the British Newspaper Archive, as part of a run of new-talent nights: "Hugh Cornwell of The Stranglers on Friday October 14". Venue name "Forum" per a HIS Newsflash (16 Sep 1994), which lists this date as tentative

Listed as a tentative date on a HIS Newsflash (16 Sep 1994); not independently corroborated

Setlist: Wasted Tears; First Bus To Babylon; Jesus Will Weep; Stop; I Can't Handle It; Peaches; Mr Insignificant; My Kind Of Loving. A HIS Newsflash (16 Sep 1994) instead tentatively listed this date as "Gwent, venue to be confirmed" — the well-evidenced Orange Club recording suggests the Gwent booking, explicitly flagged as subject to change, did not go ahead

Listed as tentative on a HIS Newsflash (16 Sep 1994)

Pershore Road. Per Dudley & District Chronicle and Sandwell Chronicle listings (21 Oct 1994) on the British Newspaper Archive. A HIS Newsflash (16 Sep 1994) instead tentatively listed this show for 22 Oct — a minor date conflict, not resolved; the contemporaneous newspaper listings for the 21st are treated as the stronger source

Venue and ticket price (£6) confirmed by two Portsmouth Evening News listings (15 Sep and 6 Oct 1994) on the British Newspaper Archive. Listed as tentative on a HIS Newsflash (16 Sep 1994)

Per the HIS Newsletter No 5 (Nov 1994): the newsletter organiser had hoped to attend on returning from holiday (19 Oct) but it "didn't work out". Listed as tentative on a HIS Newsflash (16 Sep 1994), whose author notes this is the only date of the run they expect to attend themselves
