Biography
The Hepburns are a Welsh indie band from Llanelli. They formed in January 1985 and have recorded fifteen albums, multiple singles, and four BBC sessions in their 40 year career. Following a two-year tenure at London’s [l5174] Records from 1987–1989, they have released records on Berkeley-based label [l51067], Spanish label [l5634], Welsh labels [l147755] and [l1162564], as well as on their own [l1003567] label. They toured the US and Scandinavia in 2007. Born of the post-punk, indie boom of the early-80s, but with their roots in the 1960s, their sound is an amalgam of indie guitar pop with Burt Bacharach, Jake Thackray, and Jonathan Richman, a style fast becoming known in Carmarthenshire as ‘Thackarich’. On January 1st 2025 they released their 15th final album "Thing of Joy" and announced their retirement after exactly 40 years as a working band. The current line-up is: Matt Jones (guitar/vocals), Mike Thomas (bass), Les Mun (drums), Sue Reece (keyboards), and Cris Haines (brass).
