Before she found her kindred spirits, Miss Harland lived in the lonesome countryside and her only companions were her small family of Von Trapp-alikes, a goat named Marigold, and Mother Nature. Background melodies and lazy summer nights around the campfire encouraged Hayley to try her hand at the guitar.

Her newfound talent and joyful demeanor coupled with her passion for storytelling developed into the cheery sound you hear today. In the early days, with gentle persuasion, she played herself on to the stages of Reading, Guilfest and Small World stage at Glastonbury, proving her presence was far from out of place.

She ventured out of the countryside to the Academy of Contemporary Music where she found the band she had been waiting for. Their likeminded thinking and combined skills heighten the sweetness of the sound of what you know and love as The Club of Lonely Hearts.
