Out May 2019, Johnny Rock Records presents the debut album from this family based group, 'The Seamus McGarvey Band'. The result of a long term idea from musician Pat McGarvey (Southern Tenant Folk Union, The Arlenes) to involve his brother John (Johnny Marvel's Blues Groove) and their Dad Seamus in the making of a studio record, something they'd never done despite decades of playing together. The tracks on this release, made famous by Johnny Otis, Sonny Boy Williamson, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Doc Watson and many others, have special meaning to the family as well as being some of the twentieth century's greatest songs, so listen to them together in this one 'Boogie-ing' place.
It was after the recent passing of Seamus's older brother John, his sister Colette and Pat's father-in-law Ronnie Arnott that the idea became fully realised and Pat began to seriously think about how to put the project together. The main thing was to build the song list upon his Dad's interest in music, which throughout his life had made him a record collector, amateur musician, singer with family members and frequent attender at concerts and festivals. Thinking practically it was decided to record the album in Edinburgh so John and Seamus booked their flights up from England and Pat invited two celebrated local musicians along to help - Jed Potts on guitar (Blueswater, The Hillman Hunters) and Calum McIntyre (Adam Holmes Band, Karine Polwart, Bombskare).
