Hand of Latham

For those of you who don’t know the Hoax, they are a High energy blues band from the south of england. They consist of Hugh Coltman- Vocals Jon Amor – Guitar Jesse Davey – Robin Davey – Bass and Mark Barrett – Drums. At their hight they were signed to East West Records a Division of Warner.

I was asked by Jesse Davey to stand in for Robin Davey on the Hoax re-union tour. It was an amazing experience to walk out on stage each night with those guys, they all have a huge energy. I had been a fan of the Hoax but never got to see them play live so it was a great pleasure to play these dates with them.

An excerpt from a review of the UK date of the tour.

“You never say never in rock and roll. And so it came to pass that after nearly 9 years away from it all The Hoax made an unexpected reunion on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the release of their ‘Humdinger’ album and the final night of the Chiddingfold Club.

In fact it wasn’t quite The Hoax as bass player Robin Davey was missing apparently stuck in the States and his place was admirably taken by the former Melt and current Scott McKeon bass man Tom Latham who formed a formidable partnership alongside the redoubtable Mark Barrett on drums.”
