Hazel O’Connor – The Artist

Hazel Thereasa O’Connor (born 1954) is a British singer-songwriter and actress. She became famous in the early 1980s with hit singles “Eighth Day”, “D-Days” and “Will You?” She also starred in the 1980 film Breaking Glass.

Hanging Around – The Song

Hanging Around is a cover song originally written by English rock band the Stranglers, released on their 1977 debut album Rattus Norvegicus. The song was written by the band’s guitarist, Hugh Cornwell, and is notable for its driving bassline and its lyrics about urban alienation. The stranglers didn’t release ‘hanging around’ as a single in its own right but can be found on a four track EP. This Hazel O’Connor version was released a single and lifted from her album ‘Cover Plus’.

The Hanging Bat – The Shape

Modelled into a bat hanging upside down. l Bats are flying mammals with their forelimbs adapted as wings, they are the only mammals capable of true and sustained flight. Bats are more agile in flight than most birds, flying with their very long spread-out digits covered with a thin membrane or patagium. The second largest order of mammals after rodents, bats comprise about 20% of all classified mammal species worldwide, with over 1,400 species. These were traditionally divided into two suborders: the largely fruit-eating megabats, and the echolocating microbats. Many bats are insectivores, and most of the rest are frugivores (fruit-eaters) or nectarivores (nectar-eaters). A few species feed on animals other than insects; for example, the vampire bats feed on blood. Most bats are nocturnal, and many roost in caves or other refuges; it is uncertain whether bats have these behaviours to escape predators. Bats are present throughout the world, with the exception of extremely cold regions. They are important in their ecosystems for pollinating flowers and dispersing seeds; many tropical plants depend entirely on bats for these services.
