For a musician, hearing a great new artists at an open mic makes it worth sitting through all the yowlers. It's even better if that great new artist likes your sound too. Then everyone feels good! That's what happened with Henry and Hattie. Listening to each other's music at a cosy little open mic, something clicked. When they got to chatting they realised they had loads of common influences and feelings about music. They decided to have a few jams together, and that is how Brigands started.
