Emmett Tinley released his second solo album late last year. The self-titled album very much satisfies this fan of Emmett's earlier band The Prayer Boat. It's a positive mature album mainly dealing with relationships and love! Some of this album was recorded in 2010 in LA, while the rest came together in Denmark in 2011. Here in 2012 Emmett seems to be working the Benelux market and the album is released by Mass Marketing Recordings which is [...]

This week on the blog I'm bringing the best posts from my first blog 'Mixtape4Melfi' over to 2uibestow.

As part of the special posts for St. Patrick's Day I wrote three special posts: For St. Patricks Day 2008 I posted three Irish artists related posts: Post 1 [...]

Sometimes the pace of everything around us take us forward so fast that we are quick to forget or even abandon items that given more time would have yielded great things. Who knows the clothes, the towns, the partners we left in the wake that would have been the warmest, most secure places to be in the long run. Lucky for us then that digging in a garden overgrown for 10 years old, Dave O'Grady of Independent records unearthed The Prayer Boat's magnum opus Polichinelle . Born of a time for this Irish band where major [...]

Here's some background info from various websites: The Prayer Boat were formed in 1987 in Blessington, Co. Wicklow. After a short period of playing in local bars and clubs, The Prayer Boat attracted a cult following in Dublin and two years of touring in Ireland culminated in the release of the band's first single Beautiful History on their own label, Stem Records. The band were eventually signed to RCA in 1989 and released their debut 'Oceanic Feeling' in 1991. Dark Green, released in 1995 became a chart hit in Ireland and also featured in the Top 20 Singles [...]
This arrived in my inbox yesterday! "We are happy to finally announce the re-release of The Prayer Boat's classic album Polichinelle. It is 10 years since the album was first commercially released and to celebrate Polichinelle is being reissued as a special 10 Year Anniversary Edition. The album was released sporadically over a four year period on different labels with different versions, mixes, track listings and artwork. However, this edition goes back to the very first version which was initially only available at Prayer Boat concerts. It has been [...]

In Ireland now like a lot of the world is experiencing a massive re-adjustment. Life seems to be spiralling back to the 1980's at a fierce rate where unemployment was high, emigration dominated family life and money was scarce. However culturally Ireland was alive and kicking. The child of the 1980's produced many fine bands who are no more. Below are Delorentos and six more samples from recent bands who should not be forgotton. Leya - In Our Hands [ More info ] Label [Terry Sutton, Binzer, Simon Good, Shane Fitzsimons] - [...]
Apparently so......... according to the un-inaugerated 43rd President of the US Al Gore, the extra tasty cold snap might be a result of fresh glacial run-off water from Greenland into the Atlantic which is causing the warm conveyor belt of currents to weaken! It gives us something to take our mind off Brian Cowen! Any old excuse to watch a great video from the amazing singer from The Prayer Boat Emmett Tinley. Snow Dome

I'll start with the end. This is the final post on Mixtape4melfi. I have a new Irish Music only blog 2 U I Bestow which I think has a more specific purpose in the hope of promoting Irish bands. I'm inspired to do this because I feel it is a major injustice if the music world doesn't get to know about Mark Dignam . 1. Mark Dignam - Glide Mark was centre of Dublin's busking scene in the post Joshua Tree pre Economic Boom Ireland. Mark busked with Glen Hansard, Mic [...]
