Emét (Emmét McGonagle) is an indie-folk musician hailing from the North of Ireland and based in Calgary, Alberta. With influences ranging from Leonard Cohen and Hozier to Phoebe Bridgers, the Derry native released their musical debut “JJ Johnston” in the depths of the coronavirus pandemic.

Follow-up singles “I Am a Bomb Technician (If You See Me Running Try to Keep Up)” and “Thran” would later be released as part of Emét’s debut EP Cheers & All the Best, the title track of which was hailed by KEXP’s Kennady Quille as “fabulous”. With support from a 13-minute short film comprising all four tracks on Cheers & All the Best, the EP was described by Chordblossom as “certainly something to write home about”.

Since the EP’s release in March 2021, Emét has moved to Calgary Alberta where they released “Hate To See It” - the first song to be released from their debut album Carlin’s Farm. Detailing the daily routine of a keyboard warrior, the single gained attention from Irish News and Out Magazine, with Pride Media Inc CEO and editorial director Diane Anderson-Minshall hailing Emét as a "bourgeoning LGBTQ star".

Carlin’s Farm (set for release on April 8th, 2022 with distribution by AntiFragile Music) was recorded in Belfast’s Half Bap Recording Studios by No Oil Paintings percussionist George Sloan, with accompaniment from Buí bassist Rónán McQuillan.

Emét (he/they) is pronounced Em-it.

Longing guitars meet snare laden grooves in the orange glow of South Manchester. Fallowfield foursome Hark stride lethargically toward musical immortality, taking cues from psychedelic rock, Latin & stripped back blues.   Bringing different styles from their respective homelands, Hark have spent their fleeting companionship creating a sound that marks them out in 2018.   

With the musical metropolises of Manchester & Leeds on his doorstep, frontman Will Wedgwood has spent more than a few years writing music that reflects the rich scene around him. Emirates born lead guitarist Dario van der Linden brings nearly two decades of experience to the quartet, and with it a sound that wouldn’t be out of place in the late 60s. Piano Virtuoso turned bassist & South London smooth mover Cameron Jacobs is known for licking, riffing & just about everything else-big his way to a toe tapping climax. Percussionist Simon King lays down a syncopated undercurrent, incorporating breaks and a stripped back bluesy presence into Hark’s emotive direction. 

In June 2018, after over a year of shows in Manchester & around the North of England, Hark embark on their first European Tour, importing their Lo-Fi warmth to the continent.
