Union Street. 226 4679. The prim Ms Hatfield gives nothing away with her demeanour but the oft- intriguing lyrics of her wistful jangly songs are teasing in their truth-or-fiction ambiguity. However. live it's no party. Passion Fruit And Holy Bread take their name from a line in ‘She Bangs The Drum‘ and are mooted as the midpoint between Suede and Verve. Their ‘Crush' demo upholds this with its wall of guitars and character.
