Live At Bangor Abbey

Glassnote Records is excited to announce a new album, Live at Bangor Abbey, from acclaimed troubadour Foy Vance due out February 10th, 2015. Foy Vance released his Glassnote Records debut album, Joy of Nothing, to critical acclaim last fall. Hailing from the seaside town of Bangor in Northern Ireland, Foy spent his childhood in the American Midwest with his preacher father, traveling the American South, widening his horizons and absorbing the rich musical traditions he was exposed to. Returning to Ireland some years later, Foy began writing his own music, deeply shaped by the sounds of his youth. Since the release of Joy Of Nothing, Foy has had an incredible year -- bringing home the inaugural Northern Irish Music Prize for Best Album, sharing the stage with artists as Ed Sheeran and Bonnie Raitt on tour, and now, returning to his hometown to record 2-sold out shows at the legendary Bangor Abbey, which makes up this gorgeous record.
