âExpect to see them everywhereâ – REMY
âThe brightest sound coming out of Ireland in a long, long time. Absolutely brilliant stuffâ – Shay Byrne, RTĂ Radio 1
âThe perfect blend of soulful funk-pop…a strong contender in an era where George Ezra and Rag’n’Bone Man reign supremeâ – Hot Press
âIt’s got soul and funk coming out of every orifice…a hugely promising debutâ – JOE.ie
âReminiscent of the likes of Stevie Wonder complete with riffing brass sections and memorable choruses.â – The Thin Air
Once he released his debut EP, the momentum accelerated considerably – Toucan was chosen to perform at Other Voices 2018, had sold out shows all across Ireland and in London, was asked to be special guest for Nile Rodgers & CHIC in Dublin and played a support set in London’s Royal Albert Hall. He’s been asked to be special guest for Durand Jones & The Indications and for James Blunt, and performed live on BBC Radio London for the Robert Elms show.
The Summer of 2019 was packed full of festivals where the act was featured at Knockanstockan, Kaleidoscope, Love Sensation and Electric Picnic, the latter of which was reviewed by Hot Press as ‘a triumphant debut…hoards of teenage devotees shouting back every word’. The momentum continued throughout the year, with a show in New York for Mondo Music Conference, a UK & Ireland tour, performances at the Cork International Jazz Festival and Coughlan’s Live Festival, the release of a second EP and a sold-out performance at The Academy, Dublin.
