Afraid To Feel hitmakers LF System go from 'punters' to TRNSMT stars

LF System, which is made up of Conor Larkman and Sean Finnigan, have spent the last few years dominating the UK and European charts with their dance-like-nobody-is-watching hits.

Now, the Afraid To Feel hitmakers, who will be playing the Glasgow Green festival on Saturday, July 8, have spoken with The Glasgow Times about their transition from TRNSMT attendees to 'chuffed' performers. 

Sean said: "This will be our first time performing at TRNSMT. We like to go as punters.

"It's a big job because the festival is close to our hearts. We are just really chuffed to be doing it.

"We went last year and we had just gone number one and we were carrying around the plaque at the festival telling everyone, 'Look at this.'"

Connor added: "I think I've honestly gone to the festival every single year and I'm certainly nervous to be playing it this time around. 

"I think we are always nervous when we play, though, it doesn't matter the scale. But, we are putting a lot more preparation into TRNSMT than what we do for a usual set. 

"We have put together, what we hope, is a good show."

The boys are not only buzzing to take the stage at TRNSMT but also to return to Glasgow. 

Speaking about the city, Sean said: "It is one of our favourite places to play. We've played there a lot and it's always an amazing time. 

"Last year we played SWG3 and that's probably one of our favourite shows we've ever done and one of our favourite venues in the city."

Sean and Connor went from 'best mates' to partners in 2019 when they decided to create LF System. 

Having only given up their jobs last year to work in music full-time, the boys think the journey has gone 'pretty well' so far. 

Sean said: "We've always wanted to make music together since we were teenagers. 

"We met when we were younger and always DJ'd back-to-back and separately but we are really good mates and so we decided to come together in 2019 and make LF System. 

"We started putting out music and playing and it was last year that we started pestering our manager and asking if we could leave our jobs and DJ full time.

"He kept saying it wasn't the time to do it yet, but finally here we are, we've taken the leap and it's all worked out pretty well."

So what's next for the pair? Not only is new music on the way, but an album may just be in the works. 

Conor said: "An album is definitely something that we have always wanted to do. 

"We've got plans for a few more singles this year and some EPs towards the end of the year. 

"We basically just want to get out that music that we've been sitting on and get it finished. It will be more club-y tunes."
