Ham Sandwich now earn a crust

Ham Sandwich have come from small beginnings to being in big demand for live performances including Electric Picnic and as support to Pixies and Arcade Fire.

Ham Sandwich’s Niamh Farrell is a busy woman. She spent the afternoon helping produce a friend’s radio show. Then it was home to put her six-year-old son, Oscar, to bed.

Now she’s squeezing in an interview to promote an upcoming performance by her band, an alternative guitar quintet from County Meath. Laughing, she explains she likes the unpredictability of her life.
