Underkill TV conducted an interview with THE QUIREBOYS before the band's December 10, 2009 concert at the Academy in Bristol, England. Watch the chat below.

THE QUIREBOYS, in conjunction with EMI Records, released a remastered (at Abbey Road studios) 20th-anniversary edition of "A Bit Of What You Fancy" in November. This reissue includes bonus demo tracks and new photos and liner notes. It was initially only available at THE QUIREBOYS shows in December and from the band's web site from November.

Released in 1990, "A Bit Of What You Fancy" reached No. 2 on the U.K. chart. Four of the tracks from this LP ("7 O'Clock", "Hey You", "I Don't Love You Anymore" and "There She Goes Again") were released as singles, with promotional videos to go along with them. "Hey You" was the most successful, as it reached No. 14 on the U.K. single chart.
