Francie Conway
** A SONG FOR THE TIMES WE LIVE IN ** Acclaimed Irish rock musician, singer, songwriter Francie Conway returns with the incredible Hit By a Hurricane. We all have a voice, together we can make a difference, nobody can afford to be silent, when we must speak up. Hit By a Hurricane is Francie Conway’s voice. Hit By a Hurricane is a song for the times we live in today, where our future as well as the future of our children is unpredictable, unsafe and unsure. No one has any answers, but if we do nothing, one thing is for certain. Songs of troubled times have been written as far back as Leadbelly, Woodie Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Barry McGuire, Tom Paxton, Bob Dylan, John Lennon plus many more. Decades later Hit By a Hurricane follows in the footprints of giants. Francie says: “this song was written and recorded at a time when Peace was at risk, on one could never imagine it would apply to the apocalyptic times we’re experiencing today”. Francie Conway is an acclaimed artist who started his recording career with RCA Records, London. Notable songs include To The Edge Of Time, One Night In Amsterdam, Striking It Rich, Somewhere In Heaven, Walking On Seashells, Peace, Love & Rock ‘n’ Roll plus many more. Major gigs include the ‘Paleo’ festival in Nyon, Switzerland, where 4,000 people were expected but 25,000 turned up, thanks to the popularity of To the Edge of Time and the I Know album. His output has remained prolific to this day, with albums Hidden Gems and Another Night In Amsterdam, and several new singles (including the anthem for Ukraine Together We Are Stronger) being released in recent years. Francie is currently working (as always) on new material. This new single is out soon: 2nd May, 2025.
