A St Michaels Session

Eugene McGuinness is an inventive songwriter and performer, known for his wry, nimble lyricism and blending retro influences with contemporary sounds to create his unique brand of off-kilter pop.

Of Irish heritage, the idiosyncratic McGuinness began crafting songs in his teens, and gained recognition with debut EP 'The Early Learnings of Eugene McGuinness' - released in 2007. His self-titled debut album was released in 2008 on Domino Records followed by 'Glue' (2009, as 'Eugene and The Lizards'), 'The Invitation to the Voyage' in 2012 and 'Chroma' (2014). 'Suburban Gothic' (2018) was released independently and marked his departure from Domino Records.

McGuinness's discography reflects his evolution as an artist - unafraid to experiment and never playing to the gallery, following a tradition of songwriters, with voices and interior universes that are all their own.

Edgar Jones first came to prominence in the 90s as the bass player, singer and songwriter for Liverpool's cult psychedelic garage band The Stairs. Their seminal track 'Weed Bus' was played on high rotation on Radio 1 for 3 weeks, before they realised its subject matter, and subsequently banned it.
