“A real music man with an openness and bravery I rarely hear, when I hear Fiach I enjoy every note” – Eddi Reader

Dublin singer-songwriter Fiach Moriarty released his debut record So i in March 2010 to great acclaim leading Hot Pressto state that “instrumentally as well as vocally, So i is exceptionally resonant and richly textured with strings bringing a sense of the sublime to several tracks. Wonderful!” The album was immediately named Album of the Week on Ireland's national broadcaster, RTÉ Radio 1.

Upon the release of his debut record the young Dubliner immediately went on the road with artists of the ilk of Ray Davies (Kinks) and Declan O'Rourke and even appeared as a guest guitarist with Fairground Attraction chanteuse Eddi Reader for her appearance on The Late Late Show. Fiach's record and performances also garnered praise from a host of musical heroes of his, including Gilbert O'Sullivan and Paul Brady.
