It’s no surprise that Galway singer-songwriter Niamh Regan is considered to be one of our most promising folk talents.
Her reputation is about to be cemented with the release of her debut album Hemet, coming on 10th August 2020 via the new Black Gate Records label.
Niamh’s second taster from that imminent maiden LP is How About That Coffee?, a 70’s blues-folk style ballad, released today.
The first taster from the album Save the Day, released last month, has been deservedly championed by Irish radio. It featured on the RTE Radio 1 Recommends playlist for three weeks in a row, and reached No. 1 on the station’s airplay chart. It was also playlisted on RTE 2XM, played on RTE 2FM, BBC Radio, and on top regional stations across the country.

“How About That Coffee? really came to life in the studio when drums and double bass were introduced,” said Niamh. “Originally, I had planned for a nostalgic piano based approach based off some Tom Waits recordings, but we ended up down a road that was paved by Van Morrison with shimmering strings, full band, and horns. It was a great honour to work with such stellar musicians in this process.”
How About That Coffee? features the talents of Dominic Mullanon on percussion/drums, Caimin Gilmore on double bass, Alex Borwick on trombone, Peter Berrill on trumpet, and Pat Daly on strings.
