Hiding in Public Release "Out of Sight (Best of)" Collection
May 15 2020
After eight years of hibernation, Hiding in Public are releasing "Out of Sight", a re-mixed collection of its best tracks. The album features fourteen hook-laced tunes from the band's four albums of pop/rock magic which according to babysue.com is "some of the best pop music recorded in the twenty-first century."
"We had a blast revisiting our songs and trying to decide on the twelve best to put on the collection. We couldn't but succeeded in narrowing it to fourteen tunes which makes for an incredible listening experience," according to David Holland.
Not only were the songs re-mixed and mastered by Kevin Poree, some were retro-fitted with fresh lyrics, guitar magic and instrumentation. "We're not afraid of the challenge of making our best songs better," grinned Holland. "Fans will be delighted with the phenomenal sound Kevin captured in the new mixes."
"I couldn't be more proud of this album," beamed Jamie Moses. "We've taken the cream of our crop and blended them into one incredibly catchy collection of songs. You know when a band puts fillers on an album? Well you won't find any here. This really IS the best of HiP. So far."
"The release of this album has been a fantastic opportunity to re-visit these wonderful songs," explained Kevin Poree . "All the Hiding in Public material is a cut above. This Best of album, then, means something very special indeed: it's the best of the best."
Hiding in Public features the quirky, award winning tunes of songwriter David Holland, and the extraordinary guitar playing and silky, soulful singing of Jamie Moses. Jamie played second guitar to Brian May for over a decade and toured extensively with Queen + Paul Rodgers, Mike & the Mechanics, and Tom Jones. He is one of Britain's busiest guitarists with a voice that demands attention. John Tonks on drums and Kevin Poree on bass and keyboards round out the band. Guest appearances include Matheson Bayley and his one man orchestra, and Melvin Duffy on pedal steel guitar. The album cover was photographed and designed by Martin Osner.
Hiding in Public "subscribes to the long lineage of British pop song craft, starting with the Beatles but also the Small Faces and Squeeze," wrote Billboard and, "displays the same unaffected yet sophisticated leaning of its predecessors." Their thought-provoking, quixotic songs are loaded with radio-friendly hooks and retro twists. "Anyone who ever loved classic radio pop from the 1970s and 1980s is bound to fall in love with these tracks," enthused babysue.com. Exposure includes worldwide radio play, BBC radio performances, television use, and 1st Prize in the prestigious International Songwriting Competition for their song Worlds Away Yards Apart.
The album is available on all of the major streaming services including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and Tidal.
Vicky Sampson & Hiding in Public Release Single "Finished"
Nov 27 2013
The single "Finished" is now available on leading digital sites such as iTunes and Spotify. It features the extraordinary Vicky Sampson.
Legendary soul diva Vicky Sampson is the magical voice behind "African Dream" - the song that inspired a nation and a continent when she sang it at the opening and closing ceremonies of the 1996 African Cup of Nations Football Competition held in South Africa.
From her humble beginnings as a young girl growing up on South Africa's Cape Flats, Vicky has risen to international stardom, appearing in shows throughout the world with the likes of (take a deep breath) Shakatak, Al Jarreau, Tina Turner, Joe Cocker, Peabo Bryson, George Benson, Grace Jones, Randy Crawford, Maxi Priest, Kool & the Gang, and the Stylistics.
Hiding in Public features the soulful singing and tasteful guitar work of Jamie Moses. Jamie has been hiding in plain sight for years as one of the UK's top sidemen having toured with Queen + Paul Rodgers, Mike & the Mechanics, and most recently Tom Jones. When not standing on stage at events such as the Queen's Jubilee or Nelson Mandela's 46664 concerts, he is Hiding in Public with veteran London-based collaborators Kevin Poree, John Tonks and Cape Town based ace songwriter David Holland.
Producer Patrick Hickey is the godfather of South African hip hop and Cape Town's master hit maker with countless singles over the years airing on South African radio stations. Blame him for putting this magic together!
"Finished" also features Matheson Bayley on strings and brass; and Cape Town's Eugene Ackerman on bass.

Find your Inner Anarchist today
Sep 3 2012
Our new album Inner Anarchist went live today and can be found on iTunes, Spotify, and the HiP website.
We received a glowing 5-star Top Pick review from babysueTM, who we'll allow to do the introduction.
"The guys in Great Britain's Hiding in Public are back again with an album that ought to be a runaway success. Inner Anarchist features exceedingly accessible and slick commercial pop music polished to perfection. The band is comprised of Jamie Moses (vocals, guitar), David Holland (guitar), Kevin Poree (bass, keyboards), and John Tonks (drums, percussion). The vocals on these cuts are warm and friendly and the playing is inspired and precise. Eleven well-crafted cuts. Our favorites include "The Road to Happiness (Is Nothing Like The Road To The Coast), "We'll Get By," "Finished," and "Going Places." Anyone who ever loved classic radio pop from the 1970s and 1980s is bound to fall in love with these tracks. Another exceptional album from an exceptionally brilliant band. Top pick."
We've set up a HiP Tip Jar if you would like a physical copy of the CD. The amount is up to you.
Special thanks to Amanda Holmes for the stunning cover design, Neal Snyman for the excellent mastering of the album, and the wily "Lukifer" Billing for keeping Jamie's coffee mug topped up in Berry Street Studio.
Cheers, Hiding

Terrific reviews and a chance to hear two new songs!
May 22 2011
Greetings from London! Two fantastic reviews of our EP "Turned Out Right" have been published. The latest appeared in LA's Music Connection (see page 50 in the May edition):
http://musicconnection.com/digital/
"The raspy Jamie Moses fronts this UK foursome, whose sound echoes with classic influences, and neatly balances the alt with the accessible. "Swedish Tales" has deft production touches that give an indie edge, while its singalong chorus could get any pub crowd on its feet. Meanwhile, "Road To Happiness" (with its Police-influenced rock meets reggae schematic) and the searching, confessional ballad "Turned Out Right" (graced by a soulful guitar solo) could easily make it onto a film or TV soundtrack. All in all, this one crafty outfit."
We won 5 stars and were a TOP PICK in babysue:
http://www.babysue.com/2011-March-LMNOP-Reviews.html#anchor198804
"This is one of those rare cases where the guys in the band are doing everything right. The band name is great...and, most importantly of course, the songs are FANTASTIC. This EP only features four tracks...but every single one is a direct HIT. Hiding In Public songs are basically singalong pop...but they're so smart and direct that you can't help but fall in love with 'em."
We succeeded in stealing Jamie for a few days from the Tom Jones tour and recorded four new songs. We need your help deciding which song we should consider releasing as a single.
Release One Last Night or After Today as a single?
What do you think? We'll leave these songs posted on our website until Wednesday (please note these are not final mixes, so we welcome all suggestions).
Thanks for listening and spreading the word!
Cheers, Hiding
Hiding in Public Release EP
Feb 21 2011
London pop/rock group Hiding in Public has released their fourth album, a 4-track EP titled "Turned Out Right". Similar to their other efforts, this album covers quite a bit of musical ground in its quest to rediscover vintage pop/rock, and is already winning radio play in the UK.
Power pop with hints of the Beatles and Kinks pack the opening track "Vill Du Ha Te Med Mig (Swedish Tales)", an amusing tale about a trip to Sweden that warps into an unusual adventure. The melodic rock and reggae employed in "The Road To Happiness (Is Nothing Like The Road To The Coast)" provide ironic support to the dark humor and misguided aspiration of the lyrics. The title track is a majestic number with haunting lyrics, a mesmerizing chorus and sterling guitar work. This radio-friendly tune has scored airplay in the UK. The final track, "Now's Not The Time" demands a few extra decibels and an air guitar to enjoy it fully! "Turned Out Right" is jam-packed with sing along melodies, top-notch musicianship, and tasteful guitar riffs.
Hiding in Public features the quirky, award winning tunes of songwriter David Holland, and the extraordinary guitar playing and silky, soulful singing of Jamie Moses. Jamie has played second guitar to Brian May for over a decade and toured extensively with Queen + Paul Rodgers. He is one of Britain's busiest guitarists with a voice that is winning attention. John Tonks on drums and Kevin Poree on bass and keyboards round out the band. The album was recorded at London's Berry Street Studio.
Hiding in Public "subscribes to the long lineage of British pop song craft, starting with the Beatles but also the Small Faces and Squeeze," wrote Billboard and, "displays the same unaffected yet sophisticated leaning of its predecessors." Their thought-provoking, quixotic songs are loaded with radio-friendly hooks and retro twists. Exposure includes worldwide radio play, BBC radio performances, television use, and 1st Prize in the prestigious International Songwriting Competition (2008).
Hiding in Public's three previously released CDs are available through iTunes and other digital distributors. For more information on the band, please visit www.hidinginpublic.com or write to info@hidinginpublic.com .

Hiding in Public music video and new image released
Dec 18 2010
It's snowing like the dickens in London and all I can see is white! May as well use the downtime to send a cheerful update:
+ We're getting radio airplay in the UK with our new song "Turned Out Right (Found What's Wrong)" and look forward to turning it up a few notches in the New Year.
+ We've just posted a HiP video on YouTube for our new song "The Road To Happiness (Is Nothing Like The Road To The Coast)". We've juxtaposed California cool and East End London attitude. We didn't succeed in smuggling Jamie into California, so his sunny appearance is limited to the London scenes. Special thanks to Kelly and Luke for their patience and excellent camera work. Please check out and share the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuFCLdtW4ko . We'd love to hear what you think!
+ The new EP "Turned Out Right" will be released in January 2011 and will feature 4 new songs. In anticipation of the release, we're giving our websites a facelift. We've posted the new cover at Hiding in Public and our other sites. The "Defenestration" sculpture is real and is the remarkable work of Brian Goggin. Check it out at http://www.defenestration.org/
We wish you all the best over the holiday break and into the New Year. We have plenty planned for 2011. Thanks for your support!

HiP song used on US TV; Radio interview with David; Lovely weather
Nov 15 2010
Greetings from sunny cold London! Just a brief update on some exciting news:
+ The song "I Don't Know How" from our 1st album was used on the television show "Terriers" which was broadcast across the US. This scene was on a San Diego beach with the characters speaking about women and the Fibonacci sequence. Hmm, a rather odd association for Hiding in Public, or is it?
+ We have begun promoting our latest songs to UK radio stations. You can hear an interview with David on the new songs and HiP's plans on Live Wire Talk Plus. The interview is with Phil Ray and will be broadcast on Tuesday 16 November between 8:00pm and 10:00pm Greenwich mean time (between 3:00pm and 5:00pm EST): http://www.livewiretalk.co.nr/
+ Jamie, Kevin and David are in the studio this week working on 2 cracking new songs. David and Luke are editing a video for the song "The Road To Happiness (Is Nothing Like The Road To The Coast)."
+ We will release a 4-track EP in January, so stay tuned!
Thanks for your support!

Hiding in Public Radio Adds Growing
Sep 19 2009
I've been everywhere but here, but you now how it goes 'cos there's no place like nowhere.
Great news! We are getting picked up by radio stations in the US and the number is growing. If you are in CT, give a shout to WESU, WPKN and WWUH. For the Fighting Illini, try WEFT and the Hoosiers can tune into WFHB. If you are a Minneapolis rocker, call KFAI and in St. Louis you can hear us on KDHX. Nothing would please Jamie more than to spend a few days in Houston, so our extended family in Texas should get on the hook to KPFT and demand HiP. Thanks for your support!

New album"a series of subtle delights" and "a non-stop string of oughta-be hits"
Jun 6 2009
Wow, we're blown away by recent reviews of our new CD "Worlds Away, Yards Apart"! The one and only Billboard called the album "a series of subtle delights." Billboard review:
"Hiding in Public subscribes to the long lineage of British pop songcraft, starting of course with the Beatles but also the Small Faces and Squeeze. "Worlds Away, Yards Apart," the troupe's third release, was delayed by singer/guitarist Jamie Moses' stint in the back line of Queen + Paul Rodgers but displays the same unaffected yet sophisticated leaning of its predecessors. Despite its eclectic bent, this is consistently engaging, from the rootsy richness of the title track to the brassy, Rat Pack-saluting punch of "Bikini Blue Sky" to the cabaret rollick of "Picture of Me With a Portrait of the Queen." The contemplative "Free After Free Fall" hews toward folk-rock, while "She Was Mine" mines cabaret dynamics and "Sangria Evening" incorporates a gentle Latin sway. It's a series of subtle delights that make for an understated but captivating whole. "
LMNOP piled on by making the album one of its top picks, awarding it 5 stars and writing "Hiding in Public play extraordinarily warm and hummable smooth pop music that spins like a non-stop string of oughta-be hits." LMNOP review:
"Wonderfully melodic keyboard-driven pop music reminiscent of some of the best artists from the 1970s. This one quickly squeezed under the fence right before we were uploading reviews...and we're glad as hell it did. The folks in Hiding In Public play extraordinarily warm and hummable smooth pop music that spins like a non-stop string of oughta-be hits. We don't hear many self-released CDs that are as ultimately satisfying as this. Driven by the songwriting talents of David Holland ... these guys have come up with eleven cool treats here. We only had time to spin this one a couple of times...but initial standout cuts include "Worlds Away, Yards Apart," "Free After Free Fall," "Can't Find The Key," and "Picture Of Me With A Portrait Of The Queen." Great stuff, just perfect for springtime driving... Recommended. (Rating: 5++)"
Both reviewers enjoyed "Picture of Me with a Portrait of the Queen", a wild tale coded in Cockney-rhyming slang about a night on the tiles in London. If you haven't heard this track, you can request a free download by writing to info@hidinginpublic.com.
We cannot set the price for downloads on iTunes, but we can on CD Baby. We've marked the download price of our three albums to $3.99 each! Order Hiding in Public now on CD Baby:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
LONDON ROCK BAND HIDING IN PUBLIC TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM, WORLDS AWAY, YARDS APART, IN MAY 2009
Title Track Wins First Prize in 2008 International Songwriting Competition
New York, NY?London rock band Hiding In Public is set to release its third LP, World?s Away, Yards Apart this May in the US and UK. With a line-up of accomplished musicians ranging in studio and live credits from Duran Duran to Queen, Hiding in Public boasts magic pop songs with classic rock smooth.
It was no accident of luck when David Holland, founder/songwriter/guitarist of Hiding in Public, reached out to his pal Kevin Porée of Berry Street Studio: Porée came complete with stalwart mates John Tonks and Jamie Moses. Tonks is an accomplished drummer who can tag Neneh Cherry, Sugababes, Fish, Duran Duran and Paul Oakenfold among some of his past employers; Moses is a well-known UK session kat with a résumé that reads like a racy novel, and with whom Kevin worked on the Los Pacaminos album (with Paul Young).
The band?s debut, Silent Exchange, won enthusiastic attention and aptly demonstrated both a sophisticated songwriting prowess and the top-shelf chops expected of a group clutching such a résumé. Unfortunately, Hiding in Public?s rocket was shot down before it got in the air. Straight after the release of Silent Exchange, Moses got hired to tour with Queen + Paul Rodgers and play second guitar to Brian May. So, while Jamie toured the globe, David hid away penning a fresh set of tunes. When Moses returned, the band emerged with What Lies Ahead, a brilliant long-player featuring warm, haunting melodies and well-crafted pop-rock loaded with thoughtful lyrics.
Two years later, Worlds Away, Yards Apart is boasting an award-winning title track, with ?Worlds Away, Yards Apart? recently having been announced as the first prize winner in the AAA category of the 2008 International Songwriting Competition. Recorded in London?s Berry Street Studio over the course of 2007 and 2008, the theme of alienation suggested by the title recurs throughout the CD. ?She Was Mine? will immediately make you think of Randy Newman, Leon Russell and perhaps Warren Zevon with its ragged romanticism and New Orleans style horns. ?Bikini Blue Sky? continues with a glimpse of cheeky attitude from Moses and an upbeat retro feel heard in the music of such smoove dandies as Neil Hannon and Scott Walker.
The album then swings from dark, racy pop to a contemplative, heavy mood. ?Free After Free Fall? offers a seductive, swirling melody with a cathartic chorus that won?t let go. ?Sangria Evening?, a Holland/Moses collaboration, is the tune on the album that Moses is most partial to, palpably channeling Gordon Lightfoot and rounded out with a superb horn arrangement by Matheson Bayley.
The album was recorded in bursts until Moses got called away in August 2008 to do his thing again with Queen + Paul Rodgers. So, while the rest of the band worked through the fall, Jamie didn?t re-enter the studio until December 2008. Did Moses suffer guilt? ?Yeah,? he says, ?I do feel bad if recording schedules get screwed up because I'm off swanning around the world. But we're all grown-ups and we find a way 'round it.? Queen fans who admire Jamie's work receive updates on his movements via the official Queen Fan Club site and Brian May's website. To thank all its Queen supporters, Hiding in Public will announce the release of the new album and give away free CDs on these sites.

?Their sound is majestic and otherworldly ? in the same vein as late career Eric Clapton, Hiding in Public manages to deliver a great tune after another great tune.? - Smother Magazine, Editor?s Pick
http://www.hidinginpublic.com/photos/0
Copyright Steve Bingham 2008 / Photo prompt for Hiding in Public?s fan video and fan photo contest
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 8, 2008
London - London pop rock project Hiding in Public is inviting talented fans and friends to come out of hiding and create music videos for two new songs on the band?s upcoming third album ? due out in early ?09.
Fans can download the two songs in contention, She Was Mine and/or Worlds Away, Yards Apart over the coming month by going to the Hiding in Public website and clicking www.hidinginpublic.com/user . The band?s preference is for animated video, but all forms of video will be accepted. Originality and thematic content are the most important factors, so don?t be afraid of keeping it low-tech and witty.
The band has also released a ?prompt? photo that fans can use as a visual/thematic platform when developing their video content. In the photo by photographer Steve Bingham, a female mannequin stands posed before a decrepit suburban home with broken windows and peeling paint. ?The picture reminds me of the black humour in Worlds Away, Yards Apart and amplifies the tragedy of a trophy wife and expensive life sliding into a broken home,? says songwriter David Holland. ?Fans can choose the decadent fun of She Was Mine or the existential twists of Worlds Away, Yards Apart. We encourage talented amateurs to enter.?
The grand prize winner will receive $2,000 with a second place prize (if selected) of $500. Animators, videographers, directors, and music fans across the planet are invited to submit a link to their video(s) to contest@hidinginpublic.com .
The Contest is now underway with all submissions due to the band by December 31, 11:59 pm (midnight) GMT. Hiding in Public will make the final decision and declare a winner by January 31, 2009.
There is no limit to the number of submissions that can be entered. This is a global contest, so anyone from anywhere can enter. All entries must be the creator?s original work, and entrants must be at least 18 years of age to participate.
For those fans who can?t produce video, the band is also kicking off a fan photo contest in which fans are asked to locate cool mannequins and photograph themselves with the model ? then send the photos to photo@hidinginpublic.com . Band members will randomly select favourite photos and dispense band swag/prizes for creativity. (They do ask that fans ?keep it clean? as photos will be posted online.)
Hiding in Public?s new CD will be the band?s third studio album in four years, and is already garnering strong reviews from fans taking advantage of free pre-release downloads on web and social sites. It is set to be released digitally on iTunes with physical distribution through CDBaby.
Hiding in Public is driven by the songs of David Holland, and features legendary live and session guitarist Jamie Moses. Moses is on tour this fall with Queen + Paul Rodgers, and has played with such luminaries as Mike & The Mechanics, Brian May Band, Paul Young and Bob Geldof. Hiding in Public is backed by John Tonks on drums and Kevin Poree on bass/keyboards.

Latest News, Newest Song "Save Me"
Feb 10 2008
Greetings from sunny London! I'd better write quickly so I don't let the sun go down on me. We've posted a new song called "Save Me" which has hints of early David Bowie and The Beatles "A Day in the Life" (we are unashamed advocates of thinking big). It features the extraordinary Matheson Bayley on strings which propel the song's existential theme. You can hear "Save Me" on the HiP website and MySpace:
www.hidinginpublic.com/songs
www.myspace.com/hidinginpublic
If you would like a free mp3, simply send back a note requesting "Save Me" to David@HidinginPublic.com .
Other inciting news.
? We are back in the studio working on a new set of songs for our 3rd CD. Stay tuned, we'll keep posting 'em as we finish 'em.
? Our song "I'm Running Late" will feature on the upcoming soundtrack of "Johnny Delgado Is Dead" www.johnnydelgadoisdead.com . Let's just hope that gun-slinging Johnny Delgado is not the nom de guerre of guitar-slinging Jamie Moses.
? From the virtual heat of the American southwest to the imagined shores of Tasmania, Jamie and David were interviewed by Hobart Radio International http://www.hriradio.org/aussiequeens.htm as part of an Aussie Queens special (Aussie and NZ Queen fan club). Wild tales of mysticism and magic abound in these thought-provoking interviews with the lads.
Help us spread the news! If you enjoy our new song, please forward this note to friends letting them know they can be saved for free by simply requesting "Save Me".
Cheers! Hiding
"She Was Mine" and can now be yours!
Dec 15 2007
Greetings from chilly London! Those who have heard our latest song "She Was Mine" think it is one of our best. It features the extraordinary Matheson "One Man Band" Bayley on horns and woodwinds. Check out Kevin's smoking piano solo! You can hear it now on MySpace and the HiP website:
www.myspace.com/hidinginpublic

Speaking of the extraordinary, congratulations to Jamie and Sarah on their engagement! The band is rather skint and needs a bit of cash to buy them a present. Purchases of "She Was Mine" from the HiP website will be used to buy their present. It'll cost you $1 for the download (50p for our British fans). Help the band send Jamie off in style!
We'd love to hear what you think of the new song. Thanks for listening and spreading the word!
Cheers, Hiding

Summer's here and so is Bikini Blue Sky
Jun 9 2007
Summer's here and can be found in our latest track Bikini Blue Sky! If you make it through this song without whistling along, you'd better see a doctor. Jamie is in top form and sounds sensational!
You can hear it on MySpace www.myspace.com/hidinginpublic or the Hiding in Public website www.hidinginpublic.com.
Bikini Blue Sky goes well with driving, lying on the beach, having a braai, sitting at a Biergarten, going for a surf or just enjoying the summer sun. We'd love to hear what you think. Help spread the word and have a groovy summer!
Cheers, Hiding
Hiding in Public is the Editor's Pick at Smother Magazine
Mar 3 2007
Our CD "What Lies Ahead" was chosen as Editor's Pick at Smother Magazine!
"What I like about Hiding in Public is that their sound is something so close to pedestrian but it still sounds majestic and otherworldly. Simplistic pop-rock that works in the same vein as late career Eric Clapton, Hiding in Public manages to deliver a great tune after another great tune. Strong and mature songwriting that will reinvigorate even the most stumped musician."

Happy Easter! We have really been Hiding in Public, except for Jamie who has been on tour with Queen + PR in the US.

Everything You Need! (review)
Hot guitar player, nice work! Excellent bass player laying down the bottom end. Backed up by some very tight and articulate drumming. Lyrics are short, sweet and to the point. Vocalist has that range & intonation that every blues rock singer dreams of. Love the beat, mood, melody and the feel. You got my body moving, head bobbing, my toes tapping and I'm singing along. Excellent structure, production and mix. Robert Palmer meets BB Chunk King, it's got everything you need!
Everything You Need
Apr 8 2006
We posted a new rock 'n' roller "Everything You Need" on GarageBand.com and it has done exceptionally well. It will be featured as Rock Track of the Day on 13 April. Check it out!
We've also posted this song on MySpace.com where you can DOWNLOAD IT FOR FREE. Please visit us at www.myspace.com/hidinginpublic or follow the link on our links page.
