Video Review: Declan O'Rourke - Be Brave and Believe

Jan 19, 5:43pm 2 U I Bestow
Be Brave and Believe - Declan O'Rourke
Initially I was delighted when it was announced that 'Be Brave and Believe' would become a single from Declan O'Rourke's most recent album Mag Pai Zai. Apparently this is the forth and final release from the album. I love the song. It's a powerful healing tune which hits the spot perfectly. More about the song here: http://2uibestow.blogspot.com/ 2011/12/amhran-gach-la-declan- orourke_29.html The video however is a disaster in my eyes.

Dec 31, 2011, 2:46am 2 U I Bestow
With 2011 at an end I'm bringing my 'Amhrán Gach Lá' project to a close with my Top 10 songs of 2011 by Irish artists. 1. Jukebox Gypsy - The Month For me the lyric 'These are fading pictures now falling from our wall' is exactly what it's like looking back with memories of people who've passed away. It's a poignant track about a month in the songwriter's life which was devastating and turning it into a [...]

Amhrán Gach Lá - Gemma Hayes

Apr 29, 2011, 5:16am 2 U I Bestow
Today's the day when the full Top 50 current Irish artists list is complete. There's lots of great Irish artists I've excluded from my list due to not releasing any material in the last year and a bit. Artists such as The Frames, Lisa Hannigan and Junah, as well as artists that don't do it for me like Bell X1, Fight Like Apes and there's a fairly decent question mark over Declan O'Rourke! One artist I'd have loved to include is Gemma Hayes who is on the verge of releasing a new album. As Friday is [...]
