After eighteen years of recording largely instrumental music with bands such as State River Wakening and Smile Down Upon Us, Keiron Phelan has won increasing attention as a singer-songwriter for his unique blend of 70’s glam-tinged, acoustic pop. He has recorded three well-received albums including 2022’s Bubblegum Boogie’, and his band Peace Signs includes a clarinet player, an electric pianist and a pedal steel player. These photos were taken at our 25th Anniversary gig at The Water Rats in London on the 28th October where Keiron & Peace Signs played a sublime set of wistful pop from Keiron & Peace Signs in what was their first London show in some months.
