A Lovely War is the musical amalgamation of the creative talents of singer songwriter Sean Keogh; his brother, Chris Keogh, a classically trained pianist; his oldest friend Paddy Hughes, a playwright and poet and his brother Liam Hughes on drums. Together they create catchy but intelligent art-pop. They have been played on BBC 6Music, had a double page feature written about them for Bido Lito!, and have impressed crowds with their energetic and instrument swapping live show at venues including the Kazimier in Liverpool and Riba Rocks Festival in Spain.
