Goldhawks Biography

Formed by frontman and songwriter Bobby Cook, Goldhawks started life as a three piece consisting of Bobby’s younger brother, Jack (guitar), and old school mate, Nick (keyboards). Colin (bass) and Graham (drums) were later recruited through an unlikely collaboration with Julian Cope cohort, Donald Ross Skinner and his band Kiosk. Cook had met Skinner whilst working at Notepad Studios and was irresistibly drawn to Kiosk’s jagged punk/blues and joined the group, which at that time included Graham and Colin.

Named after the West London street they were born and raised on, the Goldhawks palette is a unique mix of vintage Americana and quintessentially British fare – think Ryan Adams, Petty, Springsteen, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Cure and you’re somewhere in the right ball park.
