The Narrator was nominated for the Welsh Music Prize and the year finished off with live sessions at BBC Maida Vale Studios. In March 2015 the band were invited to perform at SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas. Whilst there BBC Radio 2 DJ Dermot O' Leary was so impressed by their set that he invited them to perform a live acoustic session for BBC Radio 2 at SXSW.
