I’m thoroughly exhausted after a momentous trip to Greenman Festival but needless to say I’m very excited to announce that this is happening in the autumn …full band…see ‘shows’ above for more info.  Also delighted to have Culture Ireland onboard for this tour – thank you for the support

Yes, the headline is true….Barbican in March with Crash Ensemble, Lisa Hannigan,  Paul Noonan and more amazing Irish songwriters and performers as part of Imagining Ireland (full details here).  You should come – the first part of this show has already happened in The National Concert Hall and was an absolute blast….here’s the proof

*****************************************************

And big thanks to the brilliant This Is The Kit  for bringing us along for a chunk of their UK tour in January…those guys.  And to everyone that came up and chatted, bought T-shirts (which are now sold out, except for XLAAAARGE).  Here’s what you would have seen in Cambridge if you were on mushrooms

And here’s the band getting chauffeured around Groningen at Eurosonic Festival in Holland  – thanks band and to First Music Contact and Culture Ireland for their support.  

And that was January…thanks all for continued support into 2018, lots of festivals coming in….see listings for more details  

Due to overwhelming demand I’ve opened a web-shop where you can buy my luxurious Carlow Town Tshirt – while stocks last….naturally.  Here you go….http://seamusfogarty.com/shop/  

And here’s what you can own….

And while I’m at it, thanks to The Guardian for including my song ‘Van Gogh’s Ear‘ in their Top 100 Songs of 2017

Stream the lot here, available on Applemusic too 

THANK YOU

Its November and nearly 4 months since last post…slack.  We’ve launched the album, toured Ireland with the magnificent Arborist and are set to embark on a 6 date UK tour with another magnificent artist by the name of Alabaster DePlume  

And the album got a 5* review in the Guardian, alongside great reviews in Mojo, Q, Uncut, Irish Times and Hotpress…amongst others…its not all about the reviews but it’s particularly satisfying when you get get a full house.  And it might persuade you to come to a show, for those of you teetering on the brink (see ‘shows’ page)

And a rather brilliant photo of the album launch in The Old Queens Head last month,  courtesy of Brian Whar

Thank you all for supporting!
