A series of semi-autobiographical, semi-fictionalised stories about my childhood in Edinburgh, alongside home-spun versions of some of Cutler’s songs (and one of mine), we recorded a studio version, and have decided to release it - for those who missed it the first time around!

Hi everyone, HH here, As some of you may already be aware, back in August, Andrew, Stefan and I performed a special commission piece for the Edinburgh International Book Festival. Titled ‘Life in a Scotch Sitting-room, Vol. 0’, it was a homage of sorts to the late great Scottish poet, Ivor Cutler.

I can't tell you how much the three of us are going to treasure this. We've never performed a show remotely like it before, there was really no knowing how it would go, and it's thanks to your warm reception that we've woken up today feeling grateful, happy and humbled.

Hi all, HH here! It’s high time we released another one of our covers out into the wild I’d say. We’ve been sitting pretty on this one a while - calling all fans of Pet Shop Boys! And all fans of big, slow burns. Our take on ‘So Hard’ is OUT NOW pals! Lots of love, HH x ffm.to/hhsohard

It still feels like a dream to this day, and like most dreams, I can only recall fragments. We were so lucky to be able to play that show, to have so many of you there supporting us. We're forever grateful for what you gave to us that night - and that we won't be forgetting!

Hamish Hawk @hamishhawk.bsky.social · 10/02/2025

HH here! A sentimental moment if I may. It's a year to the day since we played our sold-out show at the iconic Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow. It's a funny feeling when you anticipate, and anticipate, and anticipate a show for months, only for it to come and go in the quickest of flashes.

Ah - the thrill of the road! The chill of the wind! The smell of the greasepaint! The sparkle of the granite city! The Firmer Hand Tour has officially begun - tonight it’s Aberdeen, and we’re pleased as punch. Truly, we’re expecting the very best of you lot. We believe in you so we do.

The Aberdeen and Bristol shows are officially SOLD OUT, and the others are well on their way, so I thought I'd fling you all a week's advance notice to grab tickets pronto if you haven't got none, so we can see all you faces, and you can see all of ours.
