Franco-Irish and Dublin based musician Kevin Fowley has announced the launch gig of his new EP À Feu Doux at Dublin’s The Cobblestone on August 8.

Fowley will be joined by Jimmy Clarke and Zoé Basha as special guests.
The record, which is out now via Basin Rock, is a collection of folky rearrangements of 15th century French lullabies, which Fowley's mother and grandmother would sing to him as a child.

A large part of the record was performed in an attic in Dublin. “Having the time and the space to record at home helped capture the atmosphere I was looking for,” Fowley says. “I wanted to keep in the room noise, the chair and floorboard creaks. It gives a sense of time and place. 'Real night time music' is what Caimin called it. That sounds about right.”

Caimin Gilmore plays double bass on À Feu Doux, which was co-produced with Ross Chaney and mixed by Brendan Jenkinson.

Fowley will also be playing Another Love Story festival in late August.

Tickets to the À Feu Doux launch gig sell for €15 and are available here.
