From amongst the top class of the UK's young musicians, the members of Hookt-Up join together united by an eagerness to bring audiences into contact with the best of contemporary groove based music.
Schooled in the past accomplishments of artists such as James Brown, Stevie Wonder and Soulive, Hookt-Up have drawn on this inheritance to create a sound both innovative and modern.
Individually having performed at such venues as Ronnie Scotts and Glastonbury Festival, collectively they have brought their sound to enthusiastic audiences across Scotland.
Now they are looking to expand their reach, bringing their infectious beats and thick grooves to audiences on an international scale.

"At last a follow up to Janette Mason's sparkling debut as leader. Alien Left Hand ....was well worth the wait…” Production **** Performance**** -- BBC Music Magazine
“…an album fizzing with fresh ideas and delights, an exhilarating musical journey .. with brilliantly original writing and inspired playing…” -- Helen Mayhew
"Every track from the rhythmic ‘NY Cab Ride’ and restless ‘4 Wheel Drive’ to the brooding ‘Mae’s Song’ has a terrific hook but it’s the way Mason switches tempo and moods that makes ALH great fun. " -- Diva Magazine
