Louis O'hara And His Burley Chassis

Louis O’Hara is a singer-songwriter from West Wales, whose songs combine intimate folk songwriting with richly atmospheric arrangements.

Influenced by Bill Callahan and Lou Reed, his music is rooted in poetic lyricism, memory and a strong sense of place.

His debut album, A Peaceful Kind of Fun, was released by Libertino Records in 2025, with Clash calling it “quietly magical”, Hard of Hearing praising it as an “outstanding debut album”, and The Guardian describing his music as “unusually touching and truly lovely”.

Since then, O’Hara has completed three UK headline tours and established himself as one of Wales’ most compelling emerging voices.

A darker, more cinematic second album is due in early 2027.
