‘In all this excitement – the question you gotta ask yourself punk is – do you feel lucky? Well do you?’ Clearly, Seán McGowan does – but it takes a little bit more than luck.
Following the completion of a headline tour that has featured some of his biggest UK shows to date, today Seán McGowan is delighted to announce his confirmation as lead support act on Billy Bragg’s Autumn Tour.
Raised on a diet of The Clash, The Jam, Specials, Billy Bragg and other such politically-charged, punk-ignited British pop, 21 year old Seán self-released two EPs either given away or sold on a pay what you want basis at shows, plus two slices of teenage Southampton life entitled ‘Come Unstuck’ (featuring Frank Turner on backing vocals) and ‘Swings & Roundabouts’, released as a double a-side 7”. Writing has already begun on the album, due to arrive sometime in early 2018.
The news directly follows thrilling back-to-back sold out shows in London and Southampton of his own over the weekend, with Seán now looking to the coming months and these major billings with one of his idols and chief supporters at some of the country’s more capacious venues.
Releasing his debut EP for Xtra Mile Recordings: ’Graft & Grief’ earlier this month, the Southampton-born punk poet has also recently revealed a brand new video for featured track: ‘Costa Del Solution’.
