   About Frank Hamilton
============================================================

At just 22 Frank Hamilton has had a busy 2007, notching up several thousand miles on the clock of his one litre Vauxhall Corsa. He released a couple of singles, got played by Edith Bowman on Radio One, was dubbed ‘the Mike Skinner of folk’ by Music Week had his latest single feature as XFM’s record of the week.

‘Friday Nights’ was the second release on Franks DIY label and demonstrates exactly why a buzz has centered around the Cambridge born wordsmith. Penned after several messy nights in a pub where he and several other musical type folk (including Newton Faulkner & Nick Harrison) drank their student loans away, it was added to the XFM playlist upon the first mention of its release and encompasses everything that people love about Frank Hamilton and his music.

Reliant upon an honest and everyday approach to lyric writing, Franks sound centres around real words and catchy melodies, which are taken from the bedroom and crafted into a fresh and exciting blend of indie/folk. Frank can often be found with his female counterpart, Helen Ruocco and it is their unique chemistry and vocal interplay that adds an innocence and depth to complete a recipe for success.

On nights when the joys of a full band and female eye candy aren’t available Frank performs alone. Such nights have developed a reputation for delivering something special. Armed with just a guitar, harmonica, some choice words and a loopstation, the quality and relevance of the songs is able to shine through even more.

Having done well in excess of 100 dates in 2007 Frank is now locked away somewhere in Clapham writing and recording his debut EP.

============================================================

"Decribed as ‘the Mike Skinner of folk’, Frank’s writing is every bit as engaging as the bands live show" - Music Week

“Hamilton's success should be assured the moment the world hears how acutely his songs translate the real magic of love” - The Fly

“Frank Hamilton makes perky, pacey, tuneful indie that's not a million miles away from Liam Frost and Badly Drawn Boy's, but with a few more occasional ass-shaking elements. He's jolly good.” - Marsha Shandur, XFM

"Think upbeat Bright Eyes with a more friendly and accessible main vocal" - The Mag

“Very quirky, very British, very different!” – BBC

“At times vivaciously raw and gutsy, but always encouragingly melodic and lyrical” – Paul Richards

“The lyrics are well crafted and the songs arranged perfectly” - Chris Bradford: Executive Member of British Academy of Composers & Songwriters.

Hey Frank :)
thanks so much for accepting us, your music is a massive influence to myself and Niall, our guitarist.
Your songs are fantastic, really awesome, we love the edgy lyrics, and the vocal harmonies are superb.
We would really appreciate it if you had a listen to us, and told us what you thought!
That would be amazing! :)
Also, your fans could have a listen as well ;)
That would be wicked too :)
Thanks man, keep on doing what you do!
JJ, Page Avenue
