OVERVIEW Slow Place Like Home is the musical nom de plume of Donegal based producer / musician, Keith Mannion. Taking his inspiration from the likes of Marvin Gaye, XTC, Captain Beefheart and Duke Ellington, he has created his own unique brand of electronica from the comfort of his own bedroom. Since his first EP, 'Waiting On The 3rd 2nd Chance' which was released in 2011. Keith has gone on to record and release an impressive body of work - singles, EPs and full length albums. The album, 'Romola' is a fine piece of work and has gone on to earn the project a lot of new admirers. In August 2017, Slow Place Like Home released the single 'Echoes' which featured former Whipping Boy front man, Fearghal McKee, on vocals. As time has passed, so too has Slow Place Like Home developed. The live experience now includes Ciaran Patton [Bass Guitar] and Sean Reynolds [Drums]. The band has been very active on the festivals circuit playing the Hard Working Class Heroes, Sea Sessions, Castlepalooza, The Electric Picnic and Other Voices. A new album is being readied for release and is due to drop soon on Galway-based Strange Glue Rekkids. 2011 - Release of 'Waiting On The 3rd 2nd Chance' EP [26 September] 2012 - Release of 'Coastal Hubs For Chivalry' EP [23 January] - Release of 'There Go The Lights Again' album [25 June] - Release of 'Post-Hoc' EP 2013 - Re-release of 'Post-Hoc' EP [22 October] 2014 - Release of 'She Comes In Colour Stereo' single [22 May] 2015 - Slow Place Like Home perform as part of the Hard Working Class Heroes Festival in Dublin [01 - 03 October] - Release of 'Romola' album [27 October] 2016 - Release of 'Tiger Lilly / Friday' single [23 May] 2017 - Release of 'When I See You ...
