He's set to play Birmingham's Town Hall this month as the lead support for Billy Bragg.

The news directly follows thrilling back-to-back sold out shows in London and Southampton, and the release of his debut E.P Graft & Grief.

Sean has recently released the video for first single Costa Del Solution, where he teamed up with director and friend Robert Goulding.

Speaking about Costa Del Solution, Sean says “It dawned on me that people spend 50 weeks of the year thinking about the 2 weeks they get away on holiday.

"Whilst it's great to have something to look forward to - I don't think you're doing life right if you're not enjoying more than two weeks a year. It's tied in with this feeling of being stuck on the conveyor which is a theme that runs through this record.

"Doing as was done by those before you. Falling into routine. It's nonsense, do what you want, have fun and make it work.”

Sean McGowan will appear in Birmingham with Billy Bragg on November 11, 2017.
