Igloo Hearts are made up of Welsh, married musicians, James and Katie MacGregor.
They have been featured several times on BBC introducing Wales. Adam Waltons’ (BBC Radio Wales) response to their single (FishFood) was ‘Oh My God, that’s really, really good!!’ and ‘There is something quite ‘McCartney – esque’ about the melody’. Indie Music For All wrote ‘I am astounded by the talent of this couple.
They are a combination vocally, of the best bits of Kate Bush and Enya. A bigger compliment I couldn’t give them.’
SWNDS Records…’Favourite find of 2022… Understated. Beautifully delivered original songs…’
Igloo Hearts’ recent gigs include: Llangollen International Eisteddfod 2022, Focus Wales 2022, The Liverpool Philharmonic and Purbeck Valley Folk Festival 2022.
Their recent achievements, include being selected for the Focus Wales 2021 ‘Songwriting Bootcamp’, finalists for the Liverpool Acoustic Songwriting Competition 2023, finalists at the recent Purbeck Valley Rising Competition 2022, Dorset, and runner up in the Folk category at the annual Radio Wigwam Awards.
Their music incorporates classical piano and intricate, close harmonies, in a style that is
hauntingly beautiful.
