THE JAR FAMILY 2009 from the archives
Claire Hamill
We are very proud to announce that Stan Laundon ,please visit his web site at http://www.stanlaundon.com/ and ourselves are working with Claire on her new single that is about Hartlepool.
Claire Hamill was born in PortClarence, Teesside near Middlesbrough in 1954, please visit Claire's web site at http://clairehamill.co.uk/about
She is the eldest of seven children. She grew up in a
fishing village near Whitby called Staithes where the beautiful countryside
provided a fitting backdrop to her poetic leanings.
She became stage struck after seeing her father in a local Am-Dram play and
originally wanted to pursue a career as an actress but music always played a
huge part in her childhood and after learning to play the guitar at the age of
twelve she found that she could write songs.
After the break-up of her parent’s marriage she and her family
went back to Port Clarence to be near her maternal grandparents.
When she was 16 she asked John McCoy, the owner of local rock club “The
Kirklevington,” if she could play there. When she assured him that she wrote her
own songs he agreed and became her first manager.
John, along with music business lawyer Tony Dimitriades, brought Claire to the
attention of Chris Blackwell the Island records supremo who liked her
northern spirit and the songs she’d written with her boyfriend, Mike Coles.
Chris signed her and with John, produced her first album “One house left
standing”. They brought in a few of her Island stable mates to help her,
John Martyn, arranger of the year Paul Buckmaster and Simon Kirke, Rabbit and
Tetsu from “Free”.
European and North American tours followed along with performances on
“The Old Grey Whistle Test”.
In 1973 Claire released one more album for island,”October” produced by
Paul Samwell Smith fresh from his recordings with Cat Stevens and Carly
Simon.
The following year Claire signed with the Kink’s label “Konk” to record an
album with Ray Davies as producer.
At this point Claire was moving into a more rock influenced sound and “Stage
door Johnnies” is her first album of covers with “Go now’ and “We gotta get out
of this place”.
She promoted the album with another British and American tour.
Following the tour at the age of 21 she decided to produce her own album with
some of the musicians she’d used in the USA. That album was her most “rocky” to
date and is called “Abracadabra”.
By this time Claire had only one manager, Tony Dimitriades and Tony decided
to base himself in the USA. Claire didn’t feel right leaving her family in
the UK so Tony recommended that she contact the John Sherry Agency for
representation.
John Sherry was managing Wishbone Ash and invited Claire to the studio where
they were recording their new album “Just Testing”. She sang backing
vocals for them and with Laurie Wisefield co-wrote one of their most
successful songs, “Living Proof”.
In 1980 Claire married Nick Austin, the managing Director of Beggars
Banquet Records and they settled first in London and then later in East Sussex
where they brought up their three daughters.

- One of many recent letters received
October 2013
Hello Derrick,
Just wanted to thank you for creating such
a wonderfully nostalgic clip about Lynn Street, also the other one about H'pool
in the 60's.
I left my home in Seaton Carew back in 1963 after
finding myself a job by going through the national newspapers in the reference
library opposite the bus station. I was 16 and had just got some O levels and
could type. Whereas the beaches and prom of Seaton were my playground, then as I
grew up and cycled up Grange Road to the Tunstall Tech annexe, West Hartlepool
became the source of my teenage interest and fun. An iced drink in Curry's, a
dance class in Dalton Street, my Saturday job in Boots and even a job a year or
so later at the Regent Travel Bureau in York Rd. My parents were shattered when
I got my job in London and virtually left home at that time, but jobs were so
scarce and I'd had an ultimatum of get a job, or go back to school in September.
So I just did as I was told really. Returning to school was not an option, both
my sisters had been at the High School and I was no match to them sadly. If I
return as I did last month, there is no longer anyone at home or to visit, but
walking around and seeing things as they are now is all I can do, but as you
know much has changed, making your clips much more poignant.
I have lived in Hampshire since the late 60's, so it is a long way to come back
when there is nothing and no one there, but as we set off, I always feel I am
coming home.
Margaret Dickinson nee Shears sent me your clip to enjoy
should you wonder how I get to enjoy the products of your endeavours, and she
also gave me your email.
I couldn't add my Comments as I don't
have a YouTube account and this is what seemed to be a requirement .
Thank you again, Celia Howard, nee Battersby.
