Foy Vance operates in his own parallel universe. His music is an evolving journey, a constant search for artistic expression captured in the moment, operating well away from industry standards. Surely you’ll hear echoes of Otis Redding, Richie Havens, Tom Waits and Van Morrison in Foy’s music, legends he’s already being compared to and definite influences. An ever so modest Foy will laugh at these comparisons, but then again that’s what makes him so special.

‘An unbelievable voice…in the premier league of British songwriters’  -The Sunday Times
‘The missing link between Richie Havens and Stevie Wonder’  -The Independent
‘A gospel fuelled Pearl Jam’  -What’s On In London
‘Foy’s a giant’  -Pete Townshend
‘One of the most soulful and powerful singers and writers I’ve heard in a long while’ -Bonnie Raitt
"Every once in a while an Artist emerges with something so new and experimental that the existing trends of the time are redefined. Foy Vance is a Northern Irish musician who's managed to transcend established thinking." -The Irish Post
