The Boiling Well

The Boiling Well are songwriters Julie Atkins and Shaun Fitzpatrick. Julie lives in Millisle and Shaun in Craigavon in the north of Ireland. They mainly play gigs in and around Belfast city.
They share a musical connection that has inspired them to create tracks with both female and male vocals. They use a semi-acoustic guitar paired sometimes with ambient prerecorded soundscapes to help create a relaxed soothing atmosphere that matches perfectly with their vocals.
Their live shows have been described as sounding “like entering a warm bath”.
The bands name comes from a well that produces warm water in Ireland.
Their main influences are Damien Rice and PJ Harvey.

Their debut EP ‘Ampersand’ was released in September 2025 and is available now in full on Bandcamp.
In the studio they have added many instruments to their tracks with the help from many great musicians from the local music scene in Northern Ireland, including cello, flute, lap steel etc.
On April 30th 2026 they will release their first single ‘Adrift ft. Brian Finnegan’ on all streaming platforms.
