California Irish - The Mountains Are My Friends (3244148) CD Due 27th June
Summoning the beguiling spirit of Laurel Canyon, employing analogue recording techniques, and recording songs in one or two takes to achieve something with a real human touch, California Irish are a new seven-piece group hailing from Belfast that working their own niche within the world of folk and Americana, and everything in between.
This new group with a unique sound formed from a combination of players that initially came together briefly to perform a Neil Young-inspired theatre show production called "Re-Harvest", in which the musicians who now make up California Irish very successfully performed the classic albums 'Harvest Moon' and 'Harvest' back-to-back.
The brainchild of the group's lead singer and chief songwriter Cormac Neeson, the band were hand-picked by Neeson based on long standing friendships, as well as experiences with numerous musical projects within the thriving Belfast music scene.
