Hector Gannet

Hector Gannet - folk influenced indie rock. “He’s a F*cking great songwriter” – Sam Fender “"From first hearing, it has been clear to me that Hector Gannet are a band of exceptional talent." – Tom Robinson BBC 6music “Hector Gannet is an amazing poetic and musical artist. Watching Hector Gannet it seems he deserves a place at the top table.” Yan - Sea Power “Top 25 bands that might change your life…” - Louder Than War “Blew my mind...clever, profound language and deep-rooted meaningful lyrics” - NE:Volume “The latest rising star...a politically charged folky delight” - NARC Magazine Aaron Duff is an artist who works under the name ‘Hector Gannet’, both solo and with his band. Based in North Shields on Tyneside, Hector Gannet began to draw attention after Aaron wrote music in 2018 to accompany vintage footage of his native north east and its heritage, as part of a live music project for the BFI. These small arts venue shows sold out, and led to a UK tour with fellow Shieldsman and double Brit Award winner Sam Fender in 2019/20. Further support slots came for the band with Sea Power in England and Scotland, The Felice Brothers and Lanterns on The Lake, and this eventually led (after the pandemic) to a headline tour of the UK after the release of debut album 'Big Harcar' (named after a small island off the coast of England) in Oct 2020. Airplay from Lauren Laverne, Amy Lamé, Chris Hawkins on BBC 6 Music.
