A swashbuckling cavalier, a gentle poetic heart, accompanied by a musical collage that soars of romanticism.

Very witty, Wilde'

The Headmasters Ritual according to Ross Hawkins. That was a great set at The Drake. The swashbuckling romantic morphs into schoolboy channeling musical theatricality, through voice, and a lo-fi synth. A touch of Carry On films, intellectual musings of vintage poetry, and the timeless heartfelt warmth of the singer songwriter. Frankly Mr Shankly--you cannot deny us of impassioned songcraft.

Great CD review in this issue of Eye Magazine 'While Hawkins is a writer of some real wit, his songs are often overwhelmed by the unceasing archness of his delivery and the mannered theatricality of the whole project'

well our manager says yes... but thedrakehotel. ca would suggest otherwise (at least so far). So I'm not sure; but it does seem likely.

If I had to come up with a percentage, I would say 90%.
