Seamus Fogarty

London-based alt-folk alchemist Seamus Fogarty released his 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 BBC 6 Music (“Fantastic!” – Guy Garvey) and recorded a live session for Gideon Coe & Marc Riley. 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 analogue synths and drum machines, alongside 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.

He has toured extensively across the UK, both as a headline act and as a support for sold-out shows and tours with fellow artists Lisa O’Neill, Katherine Priddy and This Is The Kit. He has also performed to huge audiences on the Garden Stage at End of the Road Festival, Green Man Festival and All Together Now.

Following a forthcoming tour with The Delines, Seamus will embark on a 13-date headline tour of Ireland in November.

January – March 2027 will see Seamus undertake a 24-date UK tour, culminating in London with a headline show at The Lexington on 6 March 2027, celebrating the first anniversary of the release of Ships.

Duration: 45–20 (Int) – 45
