MORGANWAY
Striking six-part harmonies, energetic rhythms, catchy songs and a fiercely formidable live act – Morganway have made quite the impression on the UK’s rising Americana scene. Part country, part rock, with sprinklings of folk and something else entirely, it’s not easy categorising the band’s “delightfully unconventional sound” (Desperately Lost City).
Founded by twin brothers Callum and Kieran Morgan, the shared lead vocals of Callum and SJ Mortimer, along with the band’s love of ‘70s west coast rock, has drawn comparisons to Fleetwood Mac. SJ’s powerhouse voice is at the centre, part-angel, part-banshee, while Nicole Terry’s stomping fiddle creates darker, folkier undercurrents coupled with Kieran’s distinctive guitar sound. Matt Brocklehurst (keys) and 'Steady' Eddy (drums) complete the lineup.
They released their self-titled debut album in August 2019 to widespread acclaim. With a summer of festivals including Glastonbury, Black Deer and Millport Country festival, sell-out shows in London, a national tour with CC Smugglers and a British Country Music Award Nomination for UK Band of the Year; Morganway have caught the attention of Whispering Bob, and were described by Maverick Magazine as “One of the best and most exciting prospects to emerge in a long time.”
The unforeseeable Coronavirus pandemic saw the band take a step away from the live scene to focus on writing. Now with new music and shows on the horizon, 2021 promises to be the next exciting chapter for Morganway.

Press Quotes
“One of the best and most exciting prospects to emerge in a long time” – Maverick Magazine
“Takes the breath away” – RnR Magazine
“A real one to watch” – Belwood Music
Anyone fortunate enough to have been in the audience when LRB hosted the band back in September 2019 will know what a truly awesome experience Morganway are live.
Paul Carr, revPACman, picked Frozen in Our Time, filmed and recorded live at Little Rabbit Barn last September as his top song of 2019. Paul wrote "Frozen in Our Time is an instant classic, has an anthemic mystery attached to it and is such a mature song for a young band, S.J. Mortimer's vocal are sensational too!"
Here is the video of the award winning song and performance.
"This band are truly something special and surely destined for much bigger, they generate such electricity and atmosphere and tonight was
an absolute pleasure to watch.”
Chris Farlie (W21 Music, Buckle & Boots 2018 review)"Heralding euphoric choruses and electric riffs Fleetwood Mac and The Strokes, the harmonies of icons ELO meeting The Magic Numbers somewhere along the way, and the modern female vocal of Haim, Morganway are quite the tour de force soup, but let’s be frank here: this Norfolk outfit doesn’t sound like anyone else."

LYNNE HANSON and THE GOOD INTENTIONS | ANNIE KEATING TRIO | Saturday 16 April 2022
Doors 19:00 | Live 19:30 | Finish 10:45
LYNNE HANSON and THE GOOD INTENTIONS | Saturday 169 APRIL 2022 | Too tough for folk and too blues influenced for country, LYNNE HANSON's brand of "porch music with a little red dirt" can turn on a dime from a sunshine, blue sky ballad to a full-on thunderstorm of gritty Americana swamp from one song to the next. She's known for her high-energy, roots guitar driven live performances.
Talent spotted by BBC Radio's Bob Harris, Keating appeared on the Bob Harris show, then at leading international festivals including Take Root (Netherlands), Glasgow Americana Festival (Scotland), the NJ Folk Festival, The Brooklyn Indie Music Fest, Maverick fest (UK), NXNE (Canada) and The Brooklyn Americana Fest. She has played on the bill with John Hiatt, Dan Bern, Bon Iver & other greats, and toured extensively in England, Scotland, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands & Denmark.
“One of the most refreshing female acts to come down the pike in a long while. Deep and provocative songs.”
— Maverick Magazine
“Keating is building the reputation her talent deserves."
— The Telegraph
