Welcome to the Brian Hooper website
 
Thanks for clicking your way here.  I hope you’ll find the information you want about my various musical ventures and other activities.  Click on the titles above the pictures on this page to see the rest of it.  
If you’re wondering which Brian Hooper you’ve found, it’s the one in Southampton, England, who sings folk and folk-style songs and is the regular MC at the Fo’c’sle Folk Club.
 
It’s also the one who’s an independent distributor for the Utility Warehouse Discount Club.  If you’d like a simple way to keep your gas, electricity and phone costs consistently close to the lowest they can get, look at my UWCLUB page and drop me an email.
