Foy Vance is pleased to announce a series of special shows at the Grand Opera House, Belfast, from November 5th to 9th, 2024. These shows will feature a set from a guest local comedian each night and an all-request set by Foy, curated by the audience.
Hailing from Northern Ireland and deeply rooted in the rich musical history of the Southern United States, Foy Vance has garnered acclaim from fans and fellow musicians alike since his independent debut album was released in 2007. Foy released his second LP, Joy of Nothing, in 2013 on Glassnote Records, which led to further critical praise and invites on tours from Ed Sheeran, Bonnie Raitt, Marcus Foster, Snow Patrol, and Sir Elton John. Additionally, Foy has headlined tours globally to sell-out crowds.
Foy was the second artist signed to Gingerbread Man Records, Ed Sheeran’s label division within Atlantic Records. Foy’s debut recording with the label The Wild Swan was Executive Produced by Sir Elton John and released in 2016. In 2019, Foy released two companion albums, From Muscle Shoals and To Memphis, which were recorded at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and Sam Phillips Recording Studio in Memphis. His songwriting credits include co-writing four cuts on Ed Sheeran’s 2017 album Divide, the title track on Sam Smith’s latest album Gloria and collaborations with Alicia Keys, Rag N Bone Man, Keith Urban, Kacey Musgraves, Miranda Lambert, Plan B and Rudimental.
Foy Vance’s 2021 album, Signs Of Life, marked Foy’s second studio album ‘proper’ on Gingerbread Man Records and was a testament to his songwriting abilities. The thoughtful and poignant album was written and played more or less entirely by Vance, with assistance from young Northern Irish producer Gareth Dunlop, and received global recognition.
Last year, Foy embarked on his Regarding The Joy of Nothing Tour across the US, UK, and Australia to celebrate the album’s 10-year anniversary. This year, he’ll be heading out on the road once again to play songs from one of his most impactful albums in Europe and Scandinavia.
