Stop the Clocks

Pete MacGowan's music is full of raw emotion, with insightful and poignant lyrics, tapping deep in the psyche of the lost, the redeemed, and the irredeemable.
'I love Pete's CD… well written songs full of beautifully observed details, simple arrangements, performed with passion and honesty,' Kieran Goss.

With songwriting that seamlessly blends folk and blues, heartrending lyrics and a compelling performance, Pete MacGowan’s is a rare and distinctive voice. His songs tell the stories of liars, cheats and lovers, of time lost and time regained, of friendship and love, loss and separation, and all with an honesty and intensity that cuts deep.

Pete has paired up for a duet with Breege Phelan who is rapidly gaining a reputation as a unique, powerful yet tender and passionate folk and blues singer. Breege’s voice is the perfect foil for Pete’s in the love song, ‘Solomon’s Love’.

‘I was struck by the lovely uncluttered style of his live performance and am glad to say that he has maintained this on his EP Stop the Clocks. With just an acoustic guitar, a harmonica and a light dusting of percussion and vocals from Breege Phelan he has recreated the essence of his live performance. From the light airiness of Small Café to the more serious Bury ‘Em Deep, this is a collection of songs for all to cherish,’  Charlie McGettigan.

This acoustic EP features Pete MacGowan on lead vocals, guitars and harmonica, and Breege Phelan on lead and backing vocals. All five songs are originals inspired by the folk, blues and roots music from Ireland and the UK, and from Europe across the Atlantic to North America.
