Welcome to the Brian Hooper website
For technical reasons I won’t explain here (because I don’t understand them) it’s become difficult to keep this site updated. It will stay here for the foreseeable future but for up-to-date news of what I’m up to it’s probably better to visit me on Facebook, at: www.facebook.com/brianhooperman Like many others I’ve pretty much given up on MySpace, following numerous “improvements” that have rendered it virtually unuseable. But you can still click on www.myspace.com/brianhoopersouthampton to visit, and listen to some of my songs. You can also find me on YouTube. Chris Burt d’Arcy made a nice filmy thing of “The Time Of The Unspoken Prayer”, with the extra bonus of not showing my ugly mug, and you can find it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMME-AqJC18 For other songs, visit my YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/brianhooperman. Another couple of websites you might want to visit are the one about “Look Out!”, which is www.titanicsongs.co.uk, and the one about “Southampton In Song”, which is www.southampton-music.info.http://www.myspace.com/brianhoopersouthamptonhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMME-AqJC18http://www.youtube.com/brianhoopermanhttp://www.titanicsongs.co.ukhttp://www.southampton-music.infoshapeimage_3_link_0shapeimage_3_link_1shapeimage_3_link_2shapeimage_3_link_3shapeimage_3_link_4

How to get the music
If you’d like to buy a copy of “A Year In Providence”, “Hooperman In The Can” or “Southampton In Song” (or the book “So You Want To Be A Folk Club MC?”) just email me and I’ll give you the necessary details.  Alternatively, the two solo albums are available to download at www.soundsurf.co.uk, where you can also hear extracts from each track and make nice comments.
 
“He Set Me Free” is my album of Christian songs.  It’s been available since February 2009 and the first 200 copies were free!  I’ve now got some more, for sale at a very modest price.  Click here for more details.
