At just 22 Frank Hamilton has had a busy 2007, notching up several thousand miles on the clock of his one litre Vauxhall Corsa. He released a couple of singles, got played by Edith Bowman on Radio One, was dubbed ‘the Mike Skinner of folk’ by Music Week had his latest single feature as XFM’s record of the week. ‘Friday Nights’ was the second release on Franks DIY label and demonstrates exactly why a buzz has centered around the Cambridge born wordsmith. Penned after several messy nights in a pub where he and several other musical type folk (including Newton Faulkner & Nick Harrison) drank their student loans away, it was added to the XFM playlist upon the first mention of its release and encompasses everything that people love about Frank Hamilton and his music. Reliant upon an honest and everyday approach to lyric writing, Franks sound centres around real words and catchy melodies, which are taken from the bedroom and crafted into a fresh and exciting blend of indie/folk. Frank can often be found with his female counterpart, Helen Ruocco and it is their unique chemistry and vocal interplay that adds an innocence and depth to complete a recipe for success.
