Lorraine Nash & Dan Sealey Winter Sun Tour
Lorraine Nash, noted as ‘The Future of Irish Folk’ by Irish Independent, graced Australia’s prestigious stages and long-running folk festivals, such as Port Fairy Folk Festival and Blue Mountains Folk Festival in early 2024 – all this at the age of 25!
Born in Kerry, Nash began her musical journey at 6 years of age, becoming a talented multi-instrumentalist of traditional Irish music –Piano, Guitar, Fiddle, Harp, Tin Whistle, Flute – she incorporates many elements of this into her current recordings, while also drawing from her love of Folk, Country, and Americana. Citing an array of influences from Emmylou Harris and Gillian Welch to Laura Marling and Lisa Hannigan, Lorraine remains authentic to her own style and songwriting sensitivity.
In the wake of her debut album ‘All That I Can Be’ critic John Meagher said of Lorraine, “If Neil Young was the master at writing songs that get to the heart of the human condition, the same can be said of Nash’s from-the-heart compositions.” April 2024, she performed on a special RTÉ 1 primetime music TV show, ‘Songs of Ireland’, with Mike Hanrahan of Stockton’s Wing.
Following airplay from Mark Radcliffe’s Folk Show, BBC Radio 2, Lorraine performed at the prestigious Cambridge Folk Festival July ‘24, & subsequently went on to perform her latest single ‘Getting Started’ live on Ray D’Arcy’s RTÉ Radio One Show. This single is the first from a new release in Jan 2025. Other performance highlights of 2024, include All Together Now and Electric Picnic.
“Lorraine Nash is a skilled musician and talented lyricist… and deserves your attention now”
Americana UK
“The future is her oyster. It must be brilliant when you have one hit single where you can say ya I really nailed it… but when people produce one after next you have to sit up and take notice”
John Creedon, RTÉ Radio 1
“If Neil Young was the master at writing songs that get to the heart of the human condition, the same can be said of Nash’s from-the-heart compositions… Nash Is very much her own musician, but her robustly penned songs are redolent of Mary Black around the time of No Frontiers”
John Meagher, The Irish Independent
Songwriter, bass guitarist, vocalist, engaging storyteller… the list goes on when it comes to describing the many talents of Dan Sealey.
Born in Birmingham, Dan started his career with the folk-rock band Ocean Colour Scene, toured the world, played headline slots at major festivals for over a decade, and co-founded Merrymouth with Simon Fowler. Merrymouth featured award-winning musicians, including John McCusker and Andy Cutting and guest appearances from Chas Hodges (Chas and Dave).
Dan also re-formed the legendary Music Hall double act, Cosmotheka, with his father, Dave, a leading voice in the 80s and 90s folk scene. Cosmotheka toured the world with Chas and Dave, had their own Radio Two programmes and made multiple TV appearances. Dan and Dave (one half of the original duo) decided to take the band back out on the road and had great fun headlining Folk Festivals in Bromyard, Whitby, Towersey, Sidmouth, Broadstairs and Upton, to name but a few.
Dan took his show on the road, featuring music from the bands he has played in, complemented by hilarious stories he amassed along the way while working on his first solo album.
“A particular highlight of this year’s festival was the excellent and amusing Dan Sealey.” - Beardy Folk Festival
“The highlight of the entire week!” - Folk Week Atendees
“If you ever need a masterclass in songwriting, Dan Sealey is a good place to start. Oozing class on record and live, Dan wraps his reflections on the passing of time in beautiful, lilting musical constructions that work perfectly alongside his silky, easy on the ear vocals.” - Glastonbury Emerging Talent Competition
