'Dragon's Den' band Hamfatter reportedly to sign to EMI

According to The Sun, Dragon's Den band Hamfatter may sign to EMI after performing for Guy Hands, who reportedly liked their music.

Hamfatter, the band who earlier this year went onto BBC TV show 'Dragon's Den', in order to avoid signing their music away to a record label and instead gave 30% of everything they ever earn to a private investor, may now be signing a deal with, erm, record label EMI. Or at least that's what's being reported.

According to The Sun, the band recently performed in front of Guy Hands himself, who was impressed with their music (which is a first). A source said: "Guy believes the new-look EMI could be a good fit for Hamfatter".

The band are also reportedly due to star in their own TV show, 'Hamfatter's Music Den'. Meanwhile their last single, 'The Girl I Love', despite a huge amount of publicity surrounding their unusual means of receiving investment, peaked at number 71 in the charts.
