Seamus Fogarty

London-based
alt-folk alchemist Seamus Fogarty released new album Ships to critical acclaim
earlier this year via Scottish label Lost Map Records, and Swedish label Sing A
Song Fighter.  Since then, he has enjoyed widespread coverage across
BBC6Music (“Fantastic!” Guy Garvey) and recorded a live session for Gideon Coe
& Marc Riley, while BBC Radio 3’s Elizabeth Alker lauded the album’s mix of
electronica, German avant-garde and Irish folk inspiration, summing it up
neatly “It’s robotic, and it’s got soul’’. Is it any wonder Cillian Murphy has
proclaimed Seamus to be ‘one of my favourite artists around at the moment'?

Augmenting
his performances with a range of analog synths and drum machines and a stellar
cast of supporting musicians, including multi-instrumentalist Emma Smith (Pulp,
Beth Gibbons) and drummer Aram Zarikian (Grass Cut, Peaky Blinders), his live
shows are no less ambitious and have seen him traveling around the UK both in a
headline capacity and as an opening act on sold out shows & tours for
fellow artists Lisa O’Neill, Katherine Priddy and This is the Kit. He also
played to huge audiences on the Garden Stage at End Of The Road Festival, Green
Man Festival and All Together Now and is soon to go on tour with The Delines,
before embarking on a 13-date headline tour of Ireland in November.

January
– March 2027 will see a 24-date UK tour across that arrives and culminates in
London with a headline show at The Lexington on March 6th, celebrating the
1-year anniversary of the Ships release
