Hawkstone Farmer's Choir Vinyl

This is the debut 7-inch single from The Hawkstone Farmers' Choir. A musical collective brought together by a shared love of good lager and a shared hatred of uncooperative weather.

Are they the new Beatles? No. They’re better. Because they can reverse a trailer and they know the difference between winter wheat and spring barley. What they’ve created here are four tracks of raw, unfiltered, pub-warmed passion. It’s the sound of a hundred muddy fields, a thousand broken fences, and the quiet satisfaction of a pint after a day so long it started in the dark and ended in the dark.

Yes, these tracks may well be on streaming services, but we wanted you to have something solid. Something you can hold. Something you can look at and say, ‘I own a record of some farmers singing’. And then wonder what on earth you were thinking.

It’s a collector’s item. It’s a piece of history. It’s the perfect soundtrack for looking out of a window at the rain, drinking a lager, and quietly despairing. In other words, it’s the most British thing in the world.

A Note On Why We've Done This.

And now for the serious bit. Farming isn't just about wrestling with sheep and getting tractors stuck in ditches. It's a bloody tough trade, and the constant pressure can leave farmers feeling isolated, desperate, and frankly, pretty rubbish.

That's why all the profits from this magnificent vinyl will go directly to Shout, in support of Farmers mental wellbeing.

They run a free, confidential, 24/7 messaging service for anyone who's struggling to cope. We've teamed up with them because we want to make sure every farmer knows that help is out there. Talking might seem like a big step, but it can make a huge difference.

Farmers, if you need to talk, or know someone who does, all you need to do is text HAWKSTONE to 85258 to start a conversation and get the support you need.
