‘Facing Forward” – the exciting new E.P from Aidan Logan. Belfast-based singer/songwriter Aidan Logan has just released his debut E.P ‘Facing Forward’, a 4-song collection of tunes that show off the extent of the young performer’s talents. Influenced by the great American performers, such as The Killers, Billy Joel, Bruno Mars & Garth Brooks, Aidan's songs and performances are both full of energy and full of meaning. He has spent years honing his skills on the local circuit, playing in several of his home town’s greatest live venues, from The Empire to the Mandela Hall, and many places in between, sharing the stage with artists as diverse as Southern, Conor Scott & The Late Two. His highlight to-date however was the Big IF Concert in Belfast's Botanic Gardens, in which the young musician joined Two Door Cinema Club and Soak on-stage to perform to crowds of thousands, an experience Aidan has described as inspirational. ‘Facing Forward’ has been produced by legendary Indian producer Ganesh Kumble, who has ensured that Logan’s fusion of pop, folk country and rock music has remained as vibrant on record as it has been when performed live. As the title suggests, ’Facing Forward’ sees Aidan reflecting on the experiences of the past as he looks towards the future, whether it’s on the country twang of ‘Tell Me’, the reflective mood “Matter of Fact”, or the orchestral swells of “Unfinished Melody”. The E.P has been well-received since its release, with songs receiving glowing reviews from GoldenPlec & Chordblossom among others as well as air play on BBC Radio Ulster. In addition, ‘Matter of Fact’ received the ‘Single of the Week’ accolade from Belfast radio station Blast FM, and ‘Tell Me’ was playlisted on Queen’s Radio. Keep your ears out for Aidan Logan, Belfast’s best kept musical secret, for 2014 will be his year.
