They’ve been brothers for fifty
years but only started
producing music together in
2010! Vin and Andy Murtagh
are originally from
Birmingham and now based in
Colwyn Bay, North Wales.
They combine a love of rhyme and luscious wordplay with folk and country sensibilities, drawing as well on their Irish heritage. Andy’s technical know-how and sensitive production compliments Vin’s lyrics to tell stories based on age old themes of love and longing and evoke moods ranging from sombre melancholy, righteous anger, loss and loneliness, regret and outright joy.
It’s all in their new album,
‘Whiskey Priests and Lovers’.
