The Guy Hamper Trio

The Guy Hamper Trio is an instrumental group formed by renowned musician Billy Childish. The trio features Billy Childish on guitar, his wife Julie on bass, and Wolf on drums, with James Taylor, known for his work with The Prisoners and The James Taylor Quartet, contributing on the Hammond organ. Their sound is described as blues-influenced with a nod to film soundtracks, reflecting their roots in Medway garage rock. The band first released the single ‘Polygraph Test’ in 2009 but didn't release their debut album, *All The Poisons In The Mud*, until 2022. This was followed by *The Man In The Mouth Of A Cave* in 2023. Their recent output includes titles such as *Dog Jaw Woman* and *The Goddess Tree*, showcasing their eclectic style.

The Guy Hamper Trio's collaborations have also included guest appearances by other musicians like Bash Brand and Tub Johnson. Their music embodies a raw, bluesy energy that fans of garage rock and instrumental mayhem might appreciate. With a rich history in the UK music scene, Billy Childish and James Taylor bring decades of musical experience to this unique and energetic project.
