In For A Penny

A long-hidden gem in British folk-rock, In For A Penny marks the only LP by Hooknorton, driven by the rich, haunting songwriting of Bob Hughes. Originally pressed privately and all but forgotten, this album merges delicate acoustic textures with melancholic storytelling—from the fragile beauty of “High & Dry” to the road-weary reflections of “Wrong Train” and “Hour After Hour.” Recently reissued by Seelie Court, In For A Penny finally emerges from the shadows—ornate, intimate, and deeply moving.
