Hello, I am Singer Songwriter Trevor Barham AKA Bloke in a Hat.
I have been writing songs for around 15 years but its only the last year that I have started playing live gigs on a regular basis. The venues I play are mainly in the East London/Essex areas but for the right gig I would be willing to travel further afield. Even abroad.
I am currently recording a CD which I hope to release in Early 2008. I Write all my own Songs, Music and Lyrics, play Guitar, Bongos, Tambourine, Sticks, Percussion Frog, perform Vocals and Backing Vocals on all the tracks.
When I play live its just me and the guitar, but a lot time the audience sing a long with the choruses of the more catchy songs which gives it a much fuller sound, and makes for a great party atmosphere.
I will be posting more songs and changing the ones on the players so there should be something new having on this page all the time. In the last year I have year I have played live over 40 times and twice I have played live on local radio, The Fab show on Link Fm. http://www.linkfm.net/
I have met some great musicians songwriters, poets and made some great friends on my travels around the venues. If you are viewing this page but don't have a My-Space account and would like to contact me about my music or be added to my mailing list, you can Email me at blokeinahat@hotmail.co.uk
