Aaaaand it's official - A Firmer Hand has made it onto the SAY Award shortlist! 🎉 Thank you everyone for your support and encouragement - it never goes unappreciated. Roll on November 6th - wish us well at the ceremony! Love, HH x

Hi everyone, HH here, As some of you may already be aware, back in August, Andrew, Stefan and I performed a special commission piece for the Edinburgh International Book Festival. Titled ‘Life in a Scotch Sitting-room, Vol. 0’, it was a homage of sorts to the late great Scottish poet, Ivor Cutler.

HH here! I'm humbled and excited to announce that A Firmer Hand is officially longlisted for the 2025 Scottish Album of the Year Award! Delighted to see it up there alongside such great records and musicians - it's an honour! Here's your cue to send us your luckiest wishes! Love and thanks, HH x

Tickets are ON SALE! For our London show on 28th November, and our Glasgow show on 11th December, let's be clear. This is your chance to round off the year with us, and pay A Firmer Hand its dues. You've done us proud with that one. A couple of festive shows, who can resist. See you there! HH x

WHAT IF….We did it all over again? See you in the morning. Set your alarms. HH x

We've been hopping, skipping, jumping all over the place this weekend, and after beautiful stints at Krankenhaus and Noorderzon, we've made it to sunny London for All Points East! First up at 2:30pm, followed by just about the best line-up you could ask for, so enjoy yourselves, all! HH x

Another show for our good books - the Netherlands hasn't failed us yet! Here's to the lively folk who came down to see us at Noordezon last night! Two festivals coming up over the weekend: Krankenhaus (Saturday) and All Points East (Sunday). Catch you there! Kisses, HH x 📸 Lucas Kemper Fotografie

Never anything short of a total pleasure being in the Netherlands for a show, and today is no exception. Tonight it's Groningen, and it's Noorderzon! We're taking the stage at 22:30, and we're playing all sorts, shapes and sizes. Til then! HH x

Afternoon everyone, HH here. I'm just dropping in to pass on my heartfelt thanks to everyone who came down to see Life in a Scotch Sitting Room, Vol. 0 at the Edinburgh International Book Festival this past weekend.

Hello all, HH here! This just in from a yurt in North Berwick - we can't wait to grace the stage at beautiful @fringebythesea. The line-up is a real privilege: @cloth @daverowntree @billynomates - we've had a lovely cosy time backstage in the sunshine. See you soon, pals - we're on at 9:45pm! HH x

Returning for the second day of this year’s Deer Shed Festival, it’s a drive-in Saturday. Arriving to hear the last strains of Tommy WÁ’s soulful ‘God Loves

Hi all, HH here! It’s high time we released another one of our covers out into the wild I’d say. We’ve been sitting pretty on this one a while - calling all fans of Pet Shop Boys! And all fans of big, slow burns. Our take on ‘So Hard’ is OUT NOW pals! Lots of love, HH x ffm.to/hhsohard

Ah, we fair enjoyed that! A heartfelt thanks to Latitude and Deershed fests for having us this past weekend - you audiences were on tip-top form. Hope you've all had a chance for a shower and wee sleep - you deserve it. Thanks, as always, for cheering us on!

Hi friends, HH here! We really are a lucky bunch, so don't mind if we do - sun, sea and sauna ahead of our set at Bergenfest in the beautiful Norwegian city of Bergen! We've heard tell it's the rain capital of Europe, but they've rolled out the blue skies for us! See you at 19:15! Love etc, HH x

Okay folks, HH here. I won't talk too much here, I'd best save my words for later. Let's do this, Edinburgh. The Usher Hall tonight. See you in a bit, with bells on. Love, HH x

HH here! We're eight shows deep into the Firmer Hand tour with two shows to go, and you lot have been keeping us going just the ticket. We ask the fine people of Birmingham to bring your best spirits for us tonight! Spielmann at 7:30, GANS at 8:15, then us at 9:15! In a bit, HH x 📸 @izzymayv

Back in the North! Back in the West Riding! Nuff said, it's good to be back in Yorkshire. Leeds! We're in amongst you, and ready for you at the Irish Centre! Joined in earnest by Spielmann at 8pm, GANS at 8:45pm, with yours truly at 9:45pm. See ye down the front, HH x 📸 @ceirios_photo

All of us here at HH have been walking on air today. Our KOKO Camden show last night was something else entirely. The rarest of gifts, and we thank every one of you for giving it to us. Nottingham - we're bringing our very best tonight. On at 9pm! See you up there, HH x 📸 @weatherballoonstudio

It's a Sunday in London, and there's only one thing on the horizon, my friends. Tonight we take to the beautiful stage at KOKO, Camden Town, alongside our friends Voka Gentle, for a colourful night of big tunes and all sorts besides. You coming? I should certainly hope so. x

Cardiff! The band thanks you, and I thank you for last night - one for the proper good books was that. We left Wales all sweaty and smiling. Bristol, we're counting on you to keep things moving in a similar fashion - you haven't failed us yet! Tonight at Thekla w/ Spielmann at 19:30, us at 20:30!

We're fired up after the first trio of shows on the Firmer Hand tour - thanks to those who've cheered us on and gotten all hot and bothered in our company. Loud noise, honest toil and late nights. Here's to the first of many - hi Cardiff! GANS at 8pm, us at 9pm! Peace, HH x 📸 @simpsonstudios35mm

Hi all, HH at the helm! The Firmer Hand tour is well and truly underway, and we've reached Newcastle with the spring in our step given to us by the wonderful folk who came to see us last night. Tonight it's Digital w/ Amelia Coburn at 8pm, us at 9pm! Catch ye, HH x 📸 @helsmillphotography

Right-o, here goes! Manchester, you've got some venue on your hands here, an absolute beauty. New Century Hall, we've had you in our sights for years. GANS at 8pm, us at 9pm, and that'll be that. Cannae wait! Til then - peace! HH x

HH here! A sentimental moment if I may. It's a year to the day since we played our sold-out show at the iconic Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow. It's a funny feeling when you anticipate, and anticipate, and anticipate a show for months, only for it to come and go in the quickest of flashes.

Ah - the thrill of the road! The chill of the wind! The smell of the greasepaint! The sparkle of the granite city! The Firmer Hand Tour has officially begun - tonight it’s Aberdeen, and we’re pleased as punch. Truly, we’re expecting the very best of you lot. We believe in you so we do.

🫡 We were lucky enough to be at this gig - never heard Barrowlands so quiet especially on a Saturday night! 🗳️ It’s the last song that @hamishhawk.bsky.social has nominated on our 30 Greatest Scottish Songs list - watch this one before you cast your vote youtu.be/h5mhYtMNV_g?...

Hi all, HH speaking! At end of the week we set off on the Firmer Hand UK tour, so we're busy getting ourselves sorted. Washing, ironing, folding - that kind of thing.
