Brian Hooper
 
 
Local commercial radio station Original 106 featured my songs “Beaulieu Autojumble” and “Click-ma-Doodle” recently on its “Original Showcase”.  Since playing the Beaulieu one, though, they’ve disappeared from the airwaves. The curse of the Montagues?  First it was Romeo, now it’s Original!

How to get the music
If you’d like to buy a copy of “A Year In Providence”, “Hooperman In The Can” or “Southampton In Song” (or the book “So You Want To Be A Folk Club MC?”) just email me and I’ll give you the necessary details.  Alternatively, the two solo albums are available to download at www.soundsurf.co.uk, where you can also hear extracts from each track and make nice comments.
 
My apologies if you’ve been trying to contact me unsuccessfully. BT accidentally hijacked my phone line, changing my number, and after three weeks they admitted they couldn’t restore it. So I have a new number (023 8051 0309). And I think it messed up access to this site, but as you’re here it’s obviously OK now.
“He Set Me Free” is my album of Christian songs.  It’s been available since February and the first 200 copies were free!  I’ve now got some more, for sale at a very modest price.  Click here for more details.
