Seafret marks 10th anniversary of debut album with vinyl release and tour
Bridlington-based band Seafret will be marking the 10th anniversary of their debut album with a tour – starting in May.
Singer Jack Sedman and guitarist Harry Draper will also see the 10th anniversary release of ‘Tell Me It’s Real’ on Friday, May 22 – including the first vinyl version of the breakthrough album.
After the release of their new album ‘Fear of Emotion’ last month, which features collaborations with James Morrison, KT Tunstall and Katie Gregson-MacLeod – Seafret are going back to where it all began.
‘Tell Me It’s Real’ is the album that changed everything for Seafret, which took the then-unknown duo on a journey which has encompassed four studio albums and extensive global touring.
It’s a record packed full of their signature songs, including the smash ‘Atlantis’ which went internationally viral between 2022-2024 leading to a UK Top 40 breakthrough, Platinum certification in the UK and Gold in Australia, and over 1.5 billion streams to date.
All of the songs on the album were co-written by the group, with production split between the BRIT and Ivor Novello winning multiple number one hitmaker Steve Robson (Louis Tomlinson, Maisie Peters, Rascal Flatts) and Roy Stride of Scouting For Girls.
The band will be touring from Thursday, May 21, starting at Glasgow, performing 15 shows, with the final gig in Cologne on Tuesday, June 9.
They will be on stage at The Wardrobe in Leeds on Saturday, May 23.
The duo said: “We never thought our debut album would take us to the places that it has. ‘Tell Me It’s Real’ will always be so much more than an album to us.
“It’s also us growing up, the ups and downs and everything that happened behind the scenes too. It’s the people we met on the way and how we dug in when times were tough.
“We’ll forever be grateful for all the love we’ve received for this record and look back proud on what we made.
“We’re so happy to share this 10-year anniversary with you all.”
