Hardwicke Circus are a six piece rock 'n' roll band: a true rock 'n' roll collective, hailing from Annan, Ayr, Carlisle, Edinburgh & Helsinki & probably some other places that only ever existed in the 70’s.

Their music is indie rock, with a confident swagger. Evoking the early 70's post Altamont malevolence of the Rolling Stones but dragging it kicking & screaming through a modern indie custom cab until it sounds like the Stones are covering Catfish & The Bottlemen. Of course it doesn't hurt that their lead singer is a dead ringer for the young Mick Jagger & if that isn't enough you'd swear that a teenage Pete Townsend was playing guitar?
“We’re a Rock 'n' Roll band, but musically I hope we’re a whole lot more,” offers front-man Jonny Foster, a confident performer, still only 19, who seems much older and wiser than his years.

“Our record company, smart indie, came up with the phrase ‘rock and roll just got bigger’ after seeing our first performance at King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut in Glasgow. This might be an obvious case of hyperbole and flattery but of course they might have been right - we’re always trying to put on a show!” The promoter at King Tut's Wah Wah Hut likened their show to the Stones 'Exile on Main St.'
