Rich in voice and richer in imagination, Hamish Hawk - a singer-songwriter from Edinburgh - creates musical portraits as vivid in lyric as they are in melody. On Heavy Elevator, his first fully-formed album, he presents a perfect ten tracks packed with characters, incident, emotion, and tunes to hang your coat on. Hawk does all this with considerable wit, inspired by artists like Leonard Cohen, Jarvis Cocker and Randy Newman.

In 2021, they performed as part of The Great Escapes’ virtual line-up and the latest single - The Mauritian Badminton Doubles Champion, 1973 - was premiered by Steve Lamacq on BBC6 Music.

“ A gentle soul with a direct eloquence to his music.” - The Scotsman
