Foy Vance

Foy Vance was one of the acts who played at BBC Radio Ulster's new schedule launch party last night in the beautifully restored Meter Room in the Belfast Gasworks. He is an extraordinary live performer -- and a genuinely original songwriter. Originally from Bangor, he's been living in London for a year or so. If there's any justice in the musical universe, he should soar very high in the next year. Foy writes about our BBC gig on his blog. Here he is singing his first single, Gabriel and the Vagabond, which was released this past December.
