Etaoin

Etaoin is an Irish-British singer-songwriter working in folk-pop, with melodies that are cinematic and lyrics that are personal and poetic. Raised between London and Ireland, the act has been compared with Dermot Kennedy, Lizzy McAlpine, Phoebe Bridgers and Holly Humberstone. Before pursuing songwriting as a career, Etaoin was a child prodigy in traditional Irish music, winning the Fleadh Cheoil All-Ireland songwriting competition at eleven, the youngest winner the contest has had.

Earlier performances include appearing with a choir at London's Royal Albert Hall and performing solo at the St Patrick's Day concert in Trafalgar Square. Festival appearances include The Great Escape, Haldern Pop and Kaltern Pop Festival. Etaoin has supported The Ting Tings, The Dreggs and Gavin James, and at nine performed alongside Finbar Furey. The first three UK headline shows sold out, and this Edinburgh date is one of several on this visit to the country.

Sneaky Pete's, at 73 Cowgate, mainly hosts concerts, with a programme centred on pop, rock and indie as well as electronic music. The room suits a singer-songwriter performance of this kind, following the recent run of headline shows.
