Seamus Fogarty + Special Guests

London-based Alt-folk alchemist Seamus Fogarty recently released his new album Ships (6th March) on Scottish label Lost Map Records, in partnership with Swedish label Sing A Song Fighter. Packed with poignant and funny slice-of-life vignettes touching on everything from Geoffrey Chaucer to DIY coffins, and existing in a wonderful new sonic realm where songs and stories coexist peacefully with fragmentary electronics, drones and field recordings, Ships is his most expansive and uplifting collection of music to date. Singles 'I Passed Your House', 'Fire' and 'Ships' picked up wide support across BBC6Music, from the likes of Cillian Murphy ('one of my favourite artists around at the moment'), Lauren Laverne, Cerys Matthews, Craig Charles, Huw Stephens, New Music Fix Daily, Radcliffe and Maconie, and Riley & Coe, as well as support elsewhere from Uncut (8/10), Analogue Trash, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 3, BBC Scotland, BBC Ulster, BBC Wales, Radio X, RTÉ Radio 1, RTÉ 2FM and more... The first single ‘I Passed Your House’ also spent multiple weeks on RTÉ Radio 1’s Recommends list. Born and raised on the west coast of Ireland but living in London since 2010, Seamus released his debut full-length ‘God Damn You Mountain’ on cult Scottish label Fence Records (King Creosote, Jon Hopkins) in 2012. This was followed by a pair of exceptional albums released via Domino Records – 2017’s The Curious Hand (“magical amplified folk journeys through modern life” ★★★★★ – The Guardian)
