On the track FERGUS quotes.”  I Love the original song because it carries such a relatable sentiment and it also has one of the greatest opening lines of all time. It has been a turbulent year for all of us and I wanted to close it out by making something really atmospheric, with a touch of warmth for that harmonious Christmas feeling we are craving. The cover came about when I played a version of the song on Instagram, the team liked it so much they encouraged me to make a full version…..so here it is! I got super carried away with the production, which was a lot of fun, really ramping up both the drama and the cosy Christmas factor. My ideal Christmas is warm and cosy with everyone I love all together, eating, drinking, and laughing. Watching our favourite movies and playing board games by the fire.

Praise For FERGUS:-

Providing us with the perfect new tune to soundtrack our entrance into autumn, is London-hailed singer-songwriter FERGUS with “Enough for You” – Wonderland

‘The newcomer’s work gets under your skin, gradually pushing its way past your defences, overpowering your emotions. From that soft, stark delivery down to the trickle of electronics, FERGUS has developed a potent, highly individual style all his own.’– CLASH

“A mesmerising look at a rising star” – HUNGER Magazine

“Fergus is an artist who is able to drive home rolling percussions with thumping beats” – Songwriting Magazine

“An orchestral-tinged AM ballad that leaves a lasting lump in the throat in the vein of Night Beds’ exquisite debut LP ‘Country Sleep”– Hidden Herd

““Young Tonight” is a near perfect nostalgic track. The sway and vocals soothe us more than we can articulate.” –Ear to the Ground

Fergus’ delivery here is reminiscent of classic Crowded House, with a touch of Jose Gonzalez. While the warmth of the instrumentals succeeds in conjuring the sense of euphoria and positivity that Fergus is seeking to harness.” Indie London

“finely crafted with effortless sweeping vocals and delicately plucked guitars. FERGUS is known for his honest delivery, chiming harmonies, and textured layers and these acoustic versions bring out of all those elements”. Neon Music

“London-based singer-songwriter FERGUS shapes a rather beautifully evocative and melodramatic listen in his second EP, Three Of Swords” – Record of the day

“An immersive, expansive, and expressive musical adventure, “All You’re Not” is all the proof we need to know that FERGUS is growing and evolving his artistry in real-time” – ATWOOD

 “Three Of Swords’ is comprised of six elegant tracks juxtaposing reverie and restlessness” – When The Horn Blows 

“With his Three Of Swords EP having dropped recently, the unique indie pop Fergus produces is finally getting the attention it has deserved for a long time” – The Most Radicalist

Zelda Mae begins like a folk track, strummed guitar accompanying Fergus’s high register unusual and appealing voice but, as the arrangement fills out, it takes on a much more epic feel and the harmonies are powerful and affecting – Fresh On The Net
