Why Hooky Mat  Records?
This small label specialises in making home recordings of musicians and singers from the
North East of England.
An important part of the recording space is the array of mats and rugs used to help deaden
reverberation, foot-tapping and other interesting, but mostly unwanted, noises.
Pride of place among these essential coverings is a Hooky Mat in the possession of  Heather
Robb. It was made in 2000 by Lilly Rochester and is shown below in its full glory .

Jimmy first took an interest in
traditional music at the age of
eight (62 years ago!). After
many requests from friends he
has now recorded some of his
music for posterity.
