Are You Still There?
It’s 10 years since we first started playing, so to celebrate we have made a double CD of our all-time Greatest Hits, titled ‘Are You Still There?’. And there’s a tea towel to go with it.
Take a look...
You can trundle over here for the full Hamilton Yarns story, or bed down here to listen to our songs. And feel free to peruse our scrapbook here.

Reviews
"Like a journey through bewitched, colourful and magically fascinating sceneries that you rarely pass. Yes, the first diving experiences, even if it is only snorkling, are a great metaphor for this."
Georg Gartlgruber, Cracked
"These organically evolving improvisations provide a beautiful and innocent ride through fragile and quietly disturbing landscapes that make imperfection sound utterly compelling."
Mats Gustafsson, Broken Face
"Creates an atmosphere of dreamy quietude and slightly sinister, sepia-tinged nostalgia"
Daniel Spicer, The Wire
“Like an English, pastoral Faust”
Ben Graham, Stool Pigeon
"Lies between modern composition, insanity and a pastoral psyche-folk... Desperately brilliant, deeply discomforting and really, really nuts."
Toby J, The Source
"There's a fishing port somewhere missing a cabaret act that melds together the broken mind of the Smile-era Brian Wilson with the broken hearted homilies of Ivor Cutler. That missing act is Hamilton Yarns"
Nick Southgate, The Wire
“Glorious mayhem and mischief”
Boomkat
"Woozy piano waltzes, the sounds of boats, snatches of songs... the whole collection is nostalgic, dream like, majestic and marvellous."
Simon Lewis, Terrascope
