But yeah, so doing like a signing like this is just a way to meet some fans and like hear some stories. Yeah, it&#x27;s really nice for us to do this.” says James. </p><p>Andy agrees, “Yeah, that&#x27;s exactly what like, maybe even a year or so ago, we&#x27;d always said that we&#x27;d love to come to some of the places that have really like adopted us early on to come and see people and talk about the new album and do a signing and stuff like that.”</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1727137204569809926fb-3195-42c1-a763-a25c23290b9e.jfif" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="British Duo HONNE does quick detour to Manila for an album signing"/></div><div><br/></div><p>HONNE just had a successful sold out shows last year in Manila, Cebu and Davao and upto this day there are amazed with the amount of support that they’ve received from their Filipino listeners. </p><p>“It&#x27;s mad.

One coffee shop that caught their attention was ‘1C Coffee - Kape at Kwentuhan’ in Pasig City.</p><p>Andy said, “It was a lovely place. And we went in. Really lovely place. And we looked over in the corner, they had like a little basket of vinyls. And I think it may not have been right there on the front, but a couple back we had our second album was there.”</p><p>“Lovely interaction with them. And what made it slightly awkward was that they only accepted cash, and we didn&#x27;t have any cash. So basically, we paid for it in the way of, they gave us some free coffees, but we gave them free tickets to our show in Manila. So we kind of probably paid about $500.” </p><p>HONNE’s newest album ‘Ouch’ is out now on all streaming platforms. </p><div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/02/13/23/honne-set-to-return-to-ph-for-concert-in-may" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">HONNE set to return to PH for concert in May</a></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div>
