The Hamsters

On May 10 Howden Live are proud to announce the long awaited and much anticipated arrival at the Shire Hall of one of the most renowned bands in the country. 

Voted the UK's best blues-rock band, and the leading interpreters of the music of Jimi Hendrix and ZZ Top!

Now in their twentieth year together, having performed more than 4,000 concerts and with a national mailing list exceeding 20,000, The Hamsters are established as the UK's premier blues-rock attraction.

This has been achieved purely by hard work with the band handling all their own affairs, thereby disproving the popular misconception that it can't be done without major-label "muscle". The Hamsters have been voted one of the UK's best unsigned bands by Kerrang magazine.

The Hamsters enjoy the irony of being an aggressive band with a cuddly name.Members have performed with artists such as Eric Clapton, Alison Moyet, Doctor Feelgood, Walter Trout and the late, great gentleman of British Blues, Alexis Korner.

This gig promises to be one of the best ever presented by Howden Live, it might be adviseable bring your dancing shoes along too!

Tickets are £14 and available from the usual sources.
