Michael Hargan
A truly amazing talent. Glaswegian singer songwriter Michael Hargan will have you mesmerised during his live performance. Equally at home playing solo, with a band or a string quartet, no 2 shows are ever the same and his ability to turn a 3 minute song into a 15 minute improvisation is a focal point in his live show. Inspired by the spirit of bands like U2, Counting Crows, Pearl Jam, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash and The Frames, Hargan takes hold of his audience during his live shows and let’s them go when he decides.
Michael has been touring the UK, Ireland and New York extensively over the past year on a wave of invitations from organizations and bands who recognised his talents following the release of his impressive debut album ‘Conversations between Us’. His touring has also included sold-out headline dates in Scotland, Ireland and New York, and invitations to headline shows at festivals such as the prestigious Celtic Connections Festival in Glasgow and The Film Fleadh Foundation (Craic festival) in New York City. He will be playing full band shows at Festivals during the summer including a main stage spot at The Big In Falkirk Festival in Front of an estimated 100,000 people
In his songs Michael emanates a mixture of melancholy, anger and hope. During his live performance his strong compelling voice draws you in, with emotional and empiric lyrics keeping you there right to the end. An energetic and intense performer who wears his heart on his sleeve.

Michael’s album ‘Conversations between Us’ is available for download now from i-tunes.
