Swimmer One are Hamish Brown, who lives in Edinburgh, and Andrew Eaton, who lives in Glasgow. They spend most of their time together writing pop music in a cupboard above a sex shop, using a sampler that used to belong to Shaking Stevens.
To date swimmer one have released two singles, we just make music for ourselves and come on, lets go! both have been played a lot on radio in the UK and abroad and received enthusiastic reviews in the press. Swimmer One now get strange emails from Japan, Spain, Italy, Holland, America, Germany and elsewhere.

hamish is a musician and producer. as well as having played in various bands, he has written the music for films about samuel beckett and scottish ballet, recorded the score for a clown show, and collaborated with the artist david connearn. he has at no time been a professional photographer. he has not walked all 284 munros in one go and has not written a book about the experience.
andrew is a singer-songwriter whose music has, before swimmer one, found its way into one guitar band, one cabaret act, one play and one short film, but mostly into his cupboard. during the day he has a proper job on a newspaper. he has never produced a film for michael winterbottom.
A glorious duo who manage to combine the occasional blip, bleep, synth and machine drum with some of the warmest melodies and heartfelt lyrics around.... infectious and articulate. - the list.
