Hat Records is an independent recording label run by Tim Kent. It is based on the south coast of England at Southwick, (which is a small village about 65 miles directly south of London and 4 miles west of Brighton). This label was established in 1998 and has recorded cds for local folk, rock, blues and classical musicians, singer/songwriters, duos and trios, clubs and youth bands who are attracted by its excellent reputation and word-of-mouth advertising and also by not having to purchase vast quantities of cds with their initial order. Currently we have just produced CD number 53. Many people have just enough money for an initial first run of up to 50 CDs and it is this and the fact that this recording label is friendly and helpful to all and sundry (especially those who just want a momento of their music for old time's sake before it might be too late to even try) that has made Hat Records the skilled, local, happy, cottage-industrial success it is today.
