“Barfoot might be one of the most important voices in
contemporary Irish music” - Fatea
“She sings like an angel, she plays like an inspired
Orpheus, and her lyrics are as uncompromising
As reinforced concrete” - At The Barrier
Contemporary folk artist and singer-songwriter Lewis Barfoot returns to the UK for an
11 date solo tour this November. She writes mystic and majestic songs that stop you in
your tracks and has been captivating audiences with her beautiful voice that “Melts the
Hearts of Angels” according to Folk Radio UK.
Born in London and now based in her maternal home of Cork since 2019, Lewis seamlessly
blends her dual heritage into her music. Her sound is marked by an uncomplicated
loveliness, combining ethereal, evocative vocals with original compositions and reimagined
traditional songs from Ireland and the British Isles. She is frequently compared
to the likes of Kate Rusby, Sandy Denny, Eddie Reader and Maíre Brennan.
With two full-length albums, "Glenaphuca" and "HOME," under her belt, Lewis is set to
share music from both, along with tracks from her new EP "The Old Bog Road”. Accompanying
herself on nylon string guitar, shruti box, and live vocal loops, she creates a
rich, immersive soundscape. Lewis's live show is a journey into the heart of contemporary
folk music; fearless and disarmingly honest lyrics, combined with her brilliant
storytelling and magnetic stage presence, promise a show that will leave you blown
apart in the best possible way.
This will be her fifth UK tour. Prior to her solo work, Lewis sang in Irish with the London
based folk ensemble Rún, playing at Glastonbury, The Union Chapel and UK folk festivals,
releasing two EP's with them Beidh Aonach Amárach and Seo is Siud.
“The Old Bog Road” is due for release in October 2024.
This tour is supported by Culture Ireland.
