Bio

Music has led Alex Seel from Devon to London to Ireland and back to London again. Through his wanderings, Alex has picked up a beautifully crafted, rootsy song-writing style with thought-provoking lyrics and finger-picked acoustic guitar trait.  A contemporary twist on the British folksinger/guitarist, he has a growing reputation as a solo performer, having performed around the UK, Ireland, Italy, Germany and Spain (see live dates here).  

Alex's latest release is the critically acclaimed album ‘All Sails To The Sun’ (29/9/2023). He also picked up GSMC Best Single Award 2024 for the ‘No Goodbyes/Wishbone’ double A-side, having been played on Cerys Matthews BBC6, BBC Wales and BBC Scotland among many others.

“Across All Sails To The Sun, Seel gives voice to both his folk and rock influences to equal effect - blending them into his own personal musical expression…these heavily textured rock arrangements beautifully counterpoint the more traditional and folk-based songs. The contrast in tone heightens each style's effectiveness” ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ - RNR Magazine

With now officially 3 albums and 2 EPs released, Seel has built a slow but steady following that has earned him appreciation from a growing number of folk clubs, radio play and interest from abroad. He has supported Graham Parker and Clive Carrol amongst many others.

Previous touring collaborations have included The Songwriter's Circle Tour (www.circletour.co.uk), organised with singer-songwriter Greg Hancock, and as a duo with virtuoso instrumentalist Jon Sanders.
