about

Based in Walthamstow since 2014, Emma Smith & Seamus Fogarty originally hail from South West London and the West of Ireland respectively. Emma began playing the violin when she was two years old and has gone on to perform all over the world with her own groups (The Elysian Quartet , Geese) and a host of artists from Brian Ferry to Jarvis Cocker to Hot Chip. Seamus was a comparatively late bloomer, taking up the tin whistle when he was 5. The Guardian awarded his last album The Curious Hand (Domino Records) a glowing 5 star review calling it a ‘stunning, mercurial album’

“This piece of music is special because in another lifetime I was one half of a band called Geese with violist Vince Sipprell, and this piece was something we played live but never managed to record properly. Vince passed away five years ago and the bits of the tune that I had recorded just lay waiting in a laptop in a drawer and I never felt I could finish it. This was a perfect opportunity to do something with it, and I really needed someone else to do it with me, so when Seamus suggested that we finish it together it was a very exciting prospect and I’m delighted with the outcome”.
