Peter Lappin Wicklow’s rising folk voice with heartfelt debut

Music Review | 12th Oct, 2025 Peter Lappin

Wicklow’s own Peter Lappin might only be 16, but he’s already making waves with a sound that feels way beyond his years. Music has always been part of Peter’s world, he got his first taste thanks to his uncles, who’d bring out the guitars for family sessions. It’s there he found his love for storytelling through song.

Peter’s debut single, Reassurance, is a stunning introduction to his world, an acoustic-based track that blends folk, trad, country, and a touch of pop, all wrapped around his raw, honest vocals. The song carries a warmth that feels both traditional and fresh, with soothing strings and heartfelt lyrics that hit close to home.

Written during a tough time in his life, Peter says Reassurance was his way of processing it all, putting his challenges into words and finding strength through music. The result is a song that feels deeply personal yet relatable, offering a sense of hope and comfort to anyone who’s been through their own rough patch.

Produced by fellow Wicklow musician Seán Fox, the track captures Peter’s authenticity beautifully. For him, this debut is more than just a release, it’s the culmination of a journey that’s been difficult but rewarding, and one he’s incredibly proud to share.

With Reassurance, Peter Lappin proves he’s one to watch, a young artist with an old soul and a voice that feels like it’s only getting started.
