Hegarty is a band from working class town of Bootle-Liverpool in England. This is a five-piece band formed in 2014 that plays acoustic scouse rock.
The 5 members of the band are David Hegarty (vocals, rythm guitar) Ian "igga" cousins (lead guitar) Chris "keo" Mckeown (bass guitar) Waka Stafford (drums) Alex Tweedle (piano/keyboard).
Things have gone really well for the band so far and the band has had a fair bit of airplay on many radio stations including local Liverpool stations, going national in Scotland and even international in USA and France.
Their debut album “Selling your Soul to Sanity” is now complete and their new single “I only dream” was recently released with an accompanying B-side “lonely for too long.”
Their first single talks about making the most of what you have in life, taking your biggest weaknesses and using them to your strength......
In that beautiful song, they say "We only came to see the sunrise, instead we stayed and danced all night.
Sometimes you have to be submerged by darkness,
To be able to appreciate the light.....I only dream "
This band also has an “Early Recordings” 4 song EP which is smashing it on iTunes, having received 5-star ratings from buyers and excellent reviews from music bloggers.
Their music is influenced by musicians such us the Beatles, bob Dylan, Oasis, Ocean Color Scene, AC/DC… and the best part is that they are here today at OMP Unplugged.
