Born and raised just outside Belfast, Northern Ireland, Bea Stewart is a singer-songwriter shaped by the rich tradition of Irish folk music she grew up with. Her songwriting is rooted in honest storytelling and emotional vulnerability, offering listeners a window into her own tangled thoughts in the hope it helps them untangle theirs.
After releasing her debut EP Things We Never Say Out Loud in 2023, she followed up with Sorry I’m Sensitive in 2024, touring across the UK and Ireland with sold-out shows. Her music has earned support from BBC Radio 1, BBC Introducing, BBC Radio Ulster, Spotify, Apple Music, Notion, Earmilk, Wonderland and more—amassing over a million streams to date.
Bea was handpicked by Snow Patrol to support them at their hometown album launch at Belfast’s iconic Ulster Hall, and has also opened for artists including Benjamin Francis Leftwich, Siv Jakobsen, and Kyle Lionhart—cementing her reputation as one of the UK’s most compelling emerging singer-songwriters. Bea returns for two special shows in November in her home town of Belfast and her adopted home London to celebrate her forthcoming EP…more details to follow!
