Hi, my name is Simon Hurst, songwriter/musician and brewer of fine ales. I’ve been writing songs for over 20 years now, varying in many different styles but fundamentally my work is multi-faceted and melodic. The tracks you can hear on this site lean towards the more commercial side of my songwriting.
I play all the instruments and sing on all my songs with a few exceptions, but being born a human being and not an octopus does create problems when I play live. Living in Kent there is not a great demand for playing original material, so I end up performing acoustic covers such as Crowded House, Del Amitri, Beatles, 10CC and Green Day. Although I enjoy these artist’s songs, it’s not really what I’m all about.
I’ve submitted my material to recording companies but have only been met with the customary brick wall. Now I’m in my 40’s I think I would be viewed as a bit of a fossil in the music industry, where image seems to be more important than musical content. Ideally I’d like to make money by selling my material for other artists to use.
Away from music I brew beer for a living. So if you like a drop of decent ale, check out the pubs and bars where you can taste the fruits of my labour,

Cheers
Simon
