Simon Hardeman is a garage-rocker, an acoustic singer-songwriter, a composer of West End tunes and a comedian... "Cracking songs" about "love, loss, religion, memory, and suicide", "things that matter to ordinary people", said Robert Moss in The Independent. "Unorthodox rock'n'roll" said Time Out. "Original, intelligent music… [a mix of] quiet, late-1970s punk, and modern indie-rock" said the recommended download in The Independent... "I just love writing songs, and singing and playing them," he says. "Music is gloriously transformative. Songs and music are the way we turn hard times into dance. There are some hard times chronicled on the songs on my forthcoming album [Nights Under the Moon, December 8 2021], but now they're tunes to be enjoyed."
