Claire Hamill Band

About this event

Claire Hamill is a pioneering British singer-songwriter whose career has gracefully traversed folk, rock, ambient and progressive genres for over five decades. Launching her debut at just 17 with One House Left Standing (1971), she quickly earned comparisons to Joni Mitchell while forging a deeply individual artistic voice. In the 1970s she released celebrated albums such as October, Stage Door Johnnies and Abracadabra, and toured with John Martyn, Procol Harum, Jethro Tull and King Crimson. She went on to collaborate widely, contributing vocals to Steve Howe’s The Steve Howe Album, Jon & Vangelis’s The Friends of Mr Cairo, the jazz-fusion group Morrissey-Mullen, and Wishbone Ash. Her solo career pushed into bold new territory with Touchpaper (1984) and the groundbreaking Voices (1986), a wordless vocal album that anticipated the rise of ambient and new age music. Her work has been featured widely on television and film, with her songs covered by international artists. In the 2000s Claire returned to a prolific run of albums including The Lost & the Lovers (2004), When Daylight Arrives (2015), Over Dark Apples (2019), A Pocket Full of Love Songs (2022) and most recently Troubadour (2025). She also recorded two albums with the progressive rock band Fragile (Golden Fragments, 2020, and Beyond, 2021), contributing lead vocals to their Yes-inspired original material. Now performing with the Claire Hamill Band, she brings fresh energy to her songwriting and live shows, continuing to evolve as one of Britain’s most distinctive and enduring independent artists.  This event is 16 and over.
