Southern are a brother and sister duo from Belfast, Northern Ireland, playing a mixture of blues, alternative rock and pop.[1]
Music became Thom's sole focus from the age of 16, when he started busking on the streets of Belfast. Lucy joined him a few years later and the two set out to make their mark on their home town. The band was championed by BBC Radio Ulster's Gerry Anderson[2] who described them as "the most promising singer/songwriters in Ireland today."[3]
Thom & Lucy were signed to London-based record label, Marathon Artists, in 2013 and were immediately picked up as The Guardian's New Band of the Day.[4] Southern have since gone on to support Bastille, Jake Bugg, and Catfish and the Bottlemen.[5]
