Missed buying this 5 years ago when it came out, bought it second hand at the weekend.

I know Mick, I used to play football with him, move in the same circles etc in the 80s & 90s, a nicer man you'll never meet. Also the missus was in his class in junior and senior school. But anyway, his new album is great, fairly typical lovely personal songwriting and melodies but you can really hear the influence of Bill Ryder-Jones on production duties in the overall sound. I actually think @mjmooney should give this one a go Michale Head is one of the lost treasures of British songwriting in my humble opinion. The Fale Fountains were great, as were Shack and I look forward to getting that album ASAP. He deserves to be far better known than he actually is, but as you say he's had a lot of bad luck, although to be fair probably mostly self inflicted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did play it once through on Spotify though. It's very Punk, which is good as it means Dwyer is out of the Prog Hole 5 minutes ago, theboyangel said: Nightmare On Slater Street (Used to be Sallow Pillow a liverpool band I saw several times a few years back) Thats a name change for the better. I'll give the others a go over the weekend 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
