Go Hawaiian - Premier Accordian Band

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...Irish history, but I wont go into that one as this is beginning to turn into a history lesson as it is. Bass player Cait O`Riordan takes the vocals on the traditional song, Im a Man You Dont Meet Every Day. With minimal musical arragement to detract from her gorgeous voice, it carries the tune, of Scottish derivation by the way, beautifully. The full band are back in on A Pair of Brown Eyes, a real pub sing along, you can smell the Guiness. The song is about drunken bar room reminiscences of the girl who has just left you, again littered with references to Irish singers and stars. The most famous song of the album follows. Sally MacLennane is more bar room nonsense, and I defy you to keep still to this. The beat is infectious, the whistle plays the part of lead guitar, the accordian the rythymn. By contrast the slow and dark tones... Read review

Advantages: A superb singer, and two good albums in one
Disadvantages: The guitarist does very little

.... before launching into the chorus, where it becomes obvious that Brendan Ross is clearly going to become the focus of the band, and so it proves. The song stops half way through, and becomes purely a dance song for a while, before the chorus comes again, and and outro, which sees the singer going wild. London beckoned songs about money written by machines: a song that sees very little of the techno, which means that Ross has to carry the baton by himself, which of cause, he does superbly. One of the main tricks on the first half, to stop it being samey, is voice disortion, and in the bridge, it sounds as if Ross is singing through an intercom, which i feel comes off very well. backed up with a very nice chorus, with Ross clearly saying that he is the opitamey of the runners of myspace's dreams, and an attack towards the press later...

Advantages: Probably the best album of Paul McCartney's career since leaving The Beatles.
Disadvantages: Noticably, Linda's untrained vocals.

...and each move form there on in was going to be calculated and an organised manoeuvre. The birth of the McCartney's, musically, didn't experience the failure of every other band, past and previous, go through before their first big hit. They didn't need to. What did happen though was changes behind the scenes. In their private lives, they had to endure a handful of drug busts that were largely covered by the press and several appearances in court followed for the pair. Names of the band changed. Immediately after the break up of The Beatles, Paul set himself up, like a small, one man business after being made redundant. Introducing themselves, simply as Paul and Linda McCartney, they released two albums and three singles. In late 1971, came the launch of Wings, eventually changing again for a few more singles and albums calling... Read review
