Acclaimed Irish songwriter Oisín Leech has just announced his biggest solo headline show to date at London’s prestigious Union Chapel on Saturday October 26th as part of a nationwide English, Scottish and Irish tour.
His debut LP ‘Cold Sea’ is already being hailed as one of the albums of 2024 being described by Uncut as “stunning” and by Le Monde in France as “nine tracks of absolute beauty.”
The album was produced and recorded in Donegal by Brooklyn musician Steve Gunn and features many luminaries such as M Ward (Matt Ward), Dylan’s long-time bassist Tony Garnier, Roisín McGrory and music legend Dónal Lunny.

The album ‘Cold Sea’ reached the top 20 in the Official UK Folk Charts and has, as the Irish Times states , received ‘global acclaim.’
Oisin recently performed at Other Voices and has also been invited to perform at the ‘International Literature Festival Dublin’ in Merrion Square May 20 as part of a stellar line-up which includes Colm Tobín, Sinéad Gleeson and many more. In August Oisin has been invited to play the main stage at Another Love Story Festival in Meath.
