Well respected on the Bristol scene, indie singer-songwriter Man at Sea launches his much anticipated debut 'Pale Fire Catch Me' at The Louisiana. To mark he occasion he will be bringing his band to play the whole album from start to finish.

Man at Sea is a singer-songwriter in the classic sense. 

Crafting songs at the piano reminiscent of Rufus Wainwright or solo Thom Yorke, this is sophisticated songwriting that weaves melody with lyric, taking cues from the great songwriters

Pale Fire Catch Me, release Feb 2026, continues a theme of personal renewal. Inspired by the spark of creativity that comes when old narratives are set alight, the album is a journey through ashes and embers toward new light — both a reckoning with the past and an exploration of the next frontier.

Support comes from McDermott & North. McDermott & North is the indie-folk project of singer-songwriters Patrick McDermott and Rhys North. Formed in Brisbane in 2015, they built their sound from the street up—starting as buskers and evolving into a force known for raw, harmony-led songwriting and powerful live shows.

Their music blends the introspective warmth of Simon & Garfunkel with the melodic instinct of The Beatles and the edge of The Kinks. It’s a sound that feels both nostalgic and immediate—timeless songs delivered with heart and grit.
Following a celebrated collaboration with Ben Lee and an acclaimed EP, the duo relocated to the UK in 2023. Since then, they’ve sold out shows, played major festivals, and become one of the most talked-about new acts in London’s indie scene.

By 2025, McDermott & North had solidified their place as a standout live act—offering emotionally charged performances, sharp songwriting, and a growing catalogue of songs that land hard and linger long.
