Rams’ Pocket Radio is the alias of Northern Irish performer Peter McCauley. A multi-instrumentalist, Rams’ takes inspiration from sources as varied as Beethoven and brutalist architecture to construct smart pop songs with a sharp progressive twist.

His debut album Béton - French for “concrete” – is a solid statement built on several years writing, performing and growing. Rams’ Pocket Radio has three EPs under his belt, yet it’s only now in his first full length album that he realises his full potential.

Rams’ hosted an exclusive launch night for Béton in Northern Ireland as a gesture to the fans that have supported him from the outset. In the absence of online streaming of the album, the launch presented the perfect opportunity for dedicated fans to get their hands on the physical object before the rest of the world. For the launch, Rams’ curated a gathering of musicians to join him on stage, including Nathan Connolly (Snow Patrol), Soak, and Duke Special to name a few. Such a diverse bill reflected the range of sources Rams’ Pocket Radio is inspired by, and made for a memorable night for those attending.

Rams’ Pocket Radio has recently enjoyed supporting Foy Vance on his autumn 2013 U.S. tour. Prior to this, Rams’ Pocket Radio has toured Europe, UK and Ireland with bands like Snow Patrol, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly, Foy Vance, and Darwin Deez. Rams’ has also supported Matchbox Twenty, Marina and the Diamonds and The Lemonheads. He has self-released 3 EPs, received playlisting on Radio 1 and Irish radio 2FM and Cool FM, and has performed at a variety of festivals including Glastonbury, Electric Picnic, and Gampel, Rockin Park, and Nijmegen.
