Claire Hamill was 17 years old when she released her first album of songs on Island Records. World tours and appearances on The Old Grey Whistle Test followed. She was top of the new age charts in the eighties and also joined Wishbone Ash.
Eva Cassidy’s recording of her song “You take my breath away” made it a hit. She continues to record and tour and is currently working on a new album of songs.

It was great to catch up with my Teesside band Al Harrington, John Drennan and Gav Bell.Our first gig was in Saltburn at the Grand Ol’ Opry. Rosie Potter was there along with my brothers Damian and Kieran and my step sister Sue Felgate.We followed that with a gig in lovely Osmotherly at “The Queen Catherine” where Carolyn Craven presented me with copies of old songs of mine I’d all but forgotten! Now there’s just Hartlepool to do this coming saturday 28th.
Please let me apologise to any fans checking in…I promise to blog more and also update my site more often and at least keep you posted on gigs…I’m shockingly bad at this really…….sorry! x
