CLAIRE HAMILL BAND
Troubadour
Storied British journeywoman reminds us of her quality.
Signed to Island Records at 17 years old, Middlesbrough-born singer, songwriter and musician Hamill has worked with John Martyn, Steve Howe, Vangelis, Ray Davies and Wishbone Ash during a career that spans more than half a century. Along the way she has toured with the who’s who of prog, though keen to avoid being pigeonholed she describes her style as “gothic folk with a rocky edge”.
