King Hannah is a British four-piece band formed in Liverpool by Hannah Merrick and Craig Whittle. Whittle first saw Merrick performing at a University showcase. Several years later, Whittle started working in a bar and Merrick was assigned to show him how to clean tables. Whittle spent the next few months trying to convince Merrick to jam. They started a routine, spending the hours before work at Whittle's house, where, for a long time, Merrick could not pluck up the courage to play him her own music.
