HAMFATTER in the press:
Constantly refreshing... if only they'd hog the limelight a little more, cult collosaldom would be assured.
- The Fly
Hamfatter carry an arsenal of power-pop nuggets including the amazing 'Sziget' which deserves to be a hit.
-NME
Gleefully bounding indie pop... Effervescent, Pavement-style clatter and the skipping earnest shimmies of Once Around The Block era Badly Drawn Boy… a delightfully fresh album
- Metro
A hugely entertaining listen. Hamfatter’s sonic palette includes indie rock, Sixties pop, horns, strings and, above all, style. 4/5
- The Sun
Hamfatter are as refreshing as a lemon sorbet in the kalahari desert.
- Hi-Fi News
I've never liked any band so much in my life.

Thanks for the ad - I was chatting to one of James' former Edinburgh Academy teachers at The Antiquary folk session last night and he told me about the band - great music and great idea about Dragons Den (I teach entrepreneurship but never would have thought of that!)
Let me know if you ever want to play my monthly Soul Survivor live music club at The Voodoo Rooms:
Very good sounds. I was just wondering how it's all going, with the help from Dragons' Den. I watched you on the prog on Dave and thought it was a brilliant idea.

Although today is declared Earth Day, every day should be Earth Day. I'm sure you've been hearing that said a lot recently. We should be grateful to live on such a planet as ours - filled with life and love. I am. Let's all keep it that way by caring for our planet and for the people and animals who live on it. :D Lots of love and peace! ~x Suzette
Have a wonderful Wednesday! If you haven't yet seen this, when you get a chance, check out this short video of these amazing penguins: Penguins BBC Hugs, ~x Suzette
