After the last gig ......

We were all delighted at that the fantastic turn out as fans decided to ditch the economic gloom and enjoy a cracking band. If you have seen the Hamsters, you will know what they do, but tonight they really were on top form. That's it, just a fabulous night!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Hamsters gig will feature the Hamsters as themselves doing some R&B belters, then get bopping with those ZZ Top thumpers and let rip with some outstanding Hendrix.

It's a packed show folks so don't be late!

 

 

 

 

The Hamsters Do Hendrix

We have been working with the Hamsters for about fifteen years and yet to have a duff gig. Despite the hundreds of gigs and long trips touring the UK and Europe, the lads always turn in a cracking show. Yes, the musicianship is tip-top, but they are also highly entertaining.

 

The trio of guitar, bass and drums trio have long been established as one of the UK's premier live bands having performed over 4,000 concerts in 23 years. Although primarily playing their own brand of rootsy Rock, Blues and Americana, they're also widely regarded as the UK's leading interpreters of the music of Jimi Hendrix and ZZ Top which will no doubt be featuring in this gig. Highly rated, the band's guitarist and singer, Slim, recently had a new interview in the influential Guitarist Magazine and the lads have just released a new 3-hour double live DVD, titled 'Curse Of The Killer Hamsters!'

 "The Hamsters are fabulous: one of Britain's very best live bands" - Bob Harris, Radio 2

"The Hamsters are a great Blues band" - Johnny Walker, Radio 2

"Nobody does the music of Jimi Hendrix and ZZ Top better (apart from the real ZZ Top)” – The Times

"F****** brilliant!" - Suzi Quatro
