Good news, Cathal Coughlan fans!

There's a new album due on September 21 with at least one live date in London in November.

I'm definitely going to this show.

A mate of mine saw the production in Cork last year - from which most of the music comes from - and said it wasn't great. I wouldn't take his word for it, he bought a Nick Kershaw record when he we were kids.

SONG SNIPPETS ARE SOUNDING GRAND!
He is a great songwriter, make no mistake.
I saw Microdisney once and the Fatima Mansions once, FM scared me, they sounded very brutal and looked even more so, like 6 bricklayers in a line, it was the rock versionof Auf Weideshen Pet!

I love Cathal. I'm really looking forward to the new record. The Song snippets *are* sounding grand. His last, "The Sky's Awful Blue" is utterly amazing. A true genius.

Yes - the song snippets sound promising.

I'm almost more excited about this than the new Bob Dylan album (which hasn't shipped yet from cd-wow - curses!).

His voice has aged well has it not!? He's become more of a crooner / proper singer than the early days but it always sounds fresh and new.

now i visited his website and listened to the snippets. first impression: i think i don't need it really. but those snippets are to short (and only three) to judge about the whole album.

and i have to admit that since the glorious microdisney days i didn't follow up his steps. i ought to be ashamed of myself.
