Hatty Carman and Tom Rasmussen

Hatty Carman – Music & Lyrics Originally from the West Country, Hatty started out composing scores for folk plays performed in churches, woodlands and derelict buildings. After moving to London, she met Tom Rasmussen, and together they wrote their first punk-pop album ‘Going For Gold’ under the name Thigh High. Hatty has been performing in the drag king band BOYZ for over eight years, and continues to collaborate with performance artist Rose Wood at The Box, Soho.
