Foy Vance is a songsmith born in Bangor, County Down, who is now living in London. He released his first single “Gabriel and the vagabond” c/w with “Indiscriminate Act of kindness” on December 18th, 2006 on Wurdamouth Records. “Gabriel and the Vagabond” was featured in cult US TV drama Grey’s Anatomy and received an incredible response and demand to release the track as a single. The relevant episode is just about to be broadcast in the UK.
“Indiscriminate Act of Kindness”, one of Foy’s most popular tracks “live” is featured in the new tv commercial for Great Ormond Street Hospital which was aired in the UK up until Christmas of 2006. Foy often uses alternative tunings for his guitar, for example the song ‘Indiscriminate Act of Kindness’ he uses the tuning CGDGCe.
Foy has previously released two limited edition EPs on Wurdamouth records; “Live Sessions and the birth of the Toilet tour” and “Watermelon Oranges”. His regular piano player is London based composer Jules Maxwell.

Saw him a year or two ago supporting Buddy Guy, I wasn't expecting much but by the time he was halfway through his first song I couldn't tear my eyes away. He possibly even rivalled the man himself in my eyes that night.

He did a great job yesterday in Munich supporting Tori! Amazing voice, although I like it even more in the calmer parts. But what did he do to his guitar? Poor thing! And I wonder if he's gonna be able to do his job for the next 30years, cause he had to bend down to reach the mike. Take care, Foy!

Was privileged to see him perform at King tuts in Glasgow in April. In my opinion, he is one of the most talented individuals i've ever seen. I love his raw, emotion fuelled performances, but worry if he makes it mainstream then the record companies will demand 'studio arranged' albums. 'Never let the spirit die'!!!!!!

Definatley naghamadi, he is such a nice bloke, great personality. Van has no personality and is a bit of dick when it comes to fans. hopefully he can get more coverage.
