"Big beats are the best, get high all the time" - Super Hans

"A welcome intrusion on the British Folk Scene." - Mike Davies, Folk Radio UK.

Since forming in March 2013, The Hawthornes have already chalked up an impressive resume. Relentlessly playing all over the country for anyone who will listen, they have already obtained a strong, loyal following as well as landing support slots with acts such as Phil Beer (of Show of Hands), Terry & Gerry (Featuring Gerry Colvin of Colvin Quarmby) and Babajack. 

During this time they have also managed to self release a 4 track EP which has been selling like hot cakes exclusively at live shows and was also featured as a top review on Folk Radio UK. 

The Hawthornes continue to gig as often as possible, and are also planning their debut full length album to be recorded and released at the start of 2015!
