The iconic vocals of Matthew Hegarty have long been a staple in the indie-folk scene, inspiring the future generation of singer-songwriters from the likes of Matt Corby, Dermot Kennedy, Memorial & Tamzene

He released his frst EP in 2009 on the club night's record label, Communion Records. Since then he has released four albums, traversing a range of musical territories from classic acoustic folk, to dramatic synth- laden electronica, and urgent guitar led alt-rock. The common thread has been a song-writing style that marries a subtle melodic sensibility with lyrics full of natural imagery and dark emotional heft - all delivered in his striking and distinctive vocal. In the process Hegarty has quietly built a major cult following in Europe and the US.

On his latest record, Matt travelled to the famous Rockfeld Studios in Wales, recording these 11 tracks live to tape, with no tracking, over just a few days. Here he worked with Kev Jones (Wunderhorse, Jay Anderson, Bear's Den), and their aim was to capture the true magic that is Matt's vocal and song-writing, and the enchanting auditory treat that just one man and a guitar can produce. 

Headline tour in June 2024 (unannounced)

Previous support from XS Noise, The Independent, Thank Folk For That, Clash, Stereoboard, Americana.
