Last week AU attended the launch of the Oh Yeah Sessions '08, a Carling sponsored album consisting of original recordings from finest of Northern Irish talent. The launch party took place at the Oh Yeah centre, and featured live performances from Cashier No.9, Kowalski And So I Watch You From Afar and The Jane Bradfords. The event had a superb turnout, and it was heartwarming to see so much of the NI music community in the same place at the same time.
That's the background, since then the album has been getting a significant amount of airplay in our office. Each of the tracks was recorded at the new Start Together Studio, which is housed in the centre, with the exception of the bonus songs from In Case Of Fire and David Holmes. The stand out tracks we're especially digging are mojoFURY 'Colour Of The Bear', Panama Kings 'Where's Your Sense Of Urgency' and LaFaro 'Mr. Heskey', though to be honest there isn't a single duff number from the ten.
You can buy the record now from HMV and Phoenix Records, and as the CD is acting as a fundraiser for the worthy Oh Yeah cause, we suggest you do so now.
