Michael J Sheehy

Michael J. Sheehy is one of music’s best-kept secrets and a treasure to those in the know. In the early 1990's Sheehy played the North London gig circuit as a solo singer/songwriter for about 2 or 3 years and was a regular at the Bull and Gate in Kentish Town. Here he met Laurence Ash and Alex Vald and in 1995 put together a band called Dream City Film Club who had a brief dalliance with 'next big thing' status. The band released a couple of albums on Beggars Banquet but broke up in 1999. Since then Sheehy has released three critically acclaimed solo albums and has been invited on tour at the personal behest of such luminaries as Kristin Hersh, Tindersticks and Ed Harcourt. More recently he has just completed a solo, six week tour of the US supporting Peter Murphy (ex Bauhaus). He has built up a dedicated following over the years boosted by the inclusion of his songs on the soundtracks of the art house film ‘Intimacy’ and the HBO drama series ‘Deadwood’.
