Hamfatter are a pop rock band from Cambridge, England, formed in 2002. The core of the band is a three-piece, comprising Eoin O’Mahony (vocals, piano, bass), James “Jimbo” Ingham (guitar, backing vocals) and Mark Ellis (drums).
Eoin O’Mahony is the younger brother of the author Daniel O’Mahony.
Following tours of local venues throughout the UK, and several line-up changes, Hamfatter signed to Pink Hedgehog Records in 2003.
Hamfatter’s first official album, Fireworks (April 2004), enjoyed moderate success - particularly in and around Cambridge, where the band had built up a following. The album exhibits several different styles.
Hamfatter’s next release, Girls in Graz (May 2006), continued to raise the band’s UK profile. The title track received radio-play and became a surprise hit in Austria, and two European tours followed. During this time Intim Productions of Vienna produced a DVD featuring live performances, interviews and a video for the song “Fireworks”.
In June 2006 Hamfatter were booked to headline the main stage at Strawberry Fair, Cambridge’s summer festival. For this performance in front of an audience of several thousand, the usual three-piece line-up was enhanced by a horn section and double bass. This larger line-up has featured at most of the band’s subsequent performances.
Hamfatter recorded their third studio album, entitled What Part of Hamfatter Do You Not Understand?, in summer 2007. Its lead single, “Sziget (We Get Wrecked)”, reached 13 in the UK indie charts, and 54 in the UK singles charts.

Hamfatter have got good potential to become a really successful band. I also first heard about them on Dragons Den - so they have definitely got themselves heard.

I'd never heard of these before I saw them on Dragons' Den, so the least they've done is get themselves heard. Hope they do well.

Wow, really interesting time in the Dragon's Den. Good idea as well, if only to get on national television and get your music heard.. Good luck with Peter Jones.
