Jim is passionate about music since the age of 5 and been a professional musician since 2007 and enjoys playing a variety of genres of music from R&B, Rock N Roll, Rockabilly, to Surf, Country Blues and my own original music. With piano being his first instrument and guitar second, he can sing, play squeezebox and pretty much anything else I can get my hands on.
“Let's be very clear. Jim Hammond is a very fine musician and a pleasure to work with. He played in the house band on my Radio 4 series Getting Nowhere Fast where the music really must set the tone and style almost instantly. Jim's superb Boogie woogie piano on my theme tune - with just a dash of Jerry Lee Lewis in the right hand - hit the spot immediately. Jim's music is rock a billy, boogie boogie and blues, both on guitar, slide guitar and keyboards. He's a great singer too. It's a good old good time music that invites you to get up and dance and have a great party. He plays solo, as a duo, or trio or as a full band and no matter what format he uses, Jim will always give you one hundred per cent great music and a great night. Jim Hammond is highly recommended by me. And I look forward to working with him again very soon." - Mervyn Stutter
"Jim Hammond is without doubt one of the finest honky tonk, boogie woogie, rock and roll musicians on the circuit! A true talent and presence on stage, whether he is schooling his piano like Jerry Lee Lewis or playing bottle neck slide on a varied and beautiful collection of vintage guitars...big gravely voice and tales of years on the road. I've had the pleasure of sharing a stage with him and have the pleasure to call him a good friend too... I highly recommend Jim Hammond to any venue or festivals on my travels and gig circuits." - 'Grizzly' Rhys Morgan Grizzly and the Grasshoppers.
