Lewis McLauGHLin
'Rollin' On', an EP of reworks off the Debut (Feel the Ground You Walk Upon) and a brand new song, comes quickly after winning the 2022 Glastonbury Emerging Talent Competition. Rollin’ On is a reminder to us all to feel the path we’re on and acknowledge the difficulty along it, all the while singing (and whistling) when you can. Equal parts Tom Petty, Foxwarren and Paolo Nutini the blend showcases his ability to create with a more minimal palette than is present on his debut album.
"Beautiful"
Nicola Meighan, BBC Radio Scotland
A life-affirming listen, ‘Feel The Ground You Walk Upon’ in one moment will have you misty-eyed, wishing you could hold a pint aloft with your dearest pals and in the next, have you contemplating your most intense personal struggles. All the while Mclaughlin’s warm timbre blazes perpetually, unifying and comforting the lost souls that gather in its glow.

Where it all started, 'Paper in the Rain', Lewis' debut EP is a look into the mind of a late teen wandering the streets of Edinburgh. Produced by his dad and recorded in Leith, Lewis' home town at B&B Studios by Richard Werner, Paper in the Rain marks the beginning of Lewis' journey as a singer and a songwriter.
