Festivals, first single, fish fingers...

Evening Peeps,

You’ll be happy to hear that another of my tracks from “Young Runaway” is now available online to download and stream in advance of the full album release on July 8th!  It’s called “Here’s to Hoping” and it’s the first single from the album.  I really hope you like it!
iTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/heres-to-hoping/id1109003523?i=1109004663
Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/track/46CvaomMzLOqLfYdlp8D8H

The song is about the house where I grew up and the uncertainty of the future.  You can read the full lyrics here - http://www.hattiebriggs.co.uk/lyrics.

Here’s a review from my gig in Hampstead last week by Keith Ames.  It includes a sneak preview of the review Keith is writing for “The Musician” magazine summer edition - http://www.hattiebriggs.co.uk/album--live-reviews.​

I’ve got a fantastic gig in London this week!  On Thursday night I'll be playing as a five piece band in The Ballroom at The Bedford, Balham for this year's London Folk Fest. 
For a cheeky 10% discount on tickets use the code BEDFORD10 :-) I'm on just after 9pm but I'm sure it'll be a great night all round so come along from 7:30 to take in a load of great artists.
