Off Topic Rabbit hole: Brian Harvey & Abz.

For a while now I have been wondering why Abz is one of the very few people Brian Harvey follows on instagram. A very mundane detail I've had my eyes peeled for any further details on. 🔍🔍🔍

Now, we know they have met. In February 1998, Abz told Smash Hits:

And in April 2021, during a stream, Brian and his partner Nikki discuss 5ive, in which Brian tells of how he freaked Sean out one time, expressed how he would "get on with Abz" and that he even liked what Abz did with Boyz on Block's rendition of Stay Another Day, starts at 1:08.

He later goes on to say that he would form his dream boyband with Abz, Shane Filan, Shane Lynch (but questions his musical ability) and Justin Timberlake (superior versio n of BZOB??).

In another stream in 2023, there's also talk of a podcast Nikki plans on doing with Abz, which seems to have never materialised.

Both Brian and Abz like producing tracks at home, a casual collab between them would be a banger 👌
