The Prelude
When 6 best friends move from Derry to Liverpool, here's The Prelude. Singing slur-along classics for boozers, football terraces and radio, tales of joy, despair, confusion, contagious melodies and bellowed choruses. Influenced by Neil Young, The Band and The Pogues. Good time rock and roll. Marrying the pathos of Dylan, the melodies of The Band and the drunken celebration of The Pogues, The Prelude have shaken audiences up and down the country with their unique brew of classical song-writing and good time rock and roll.

HERE COMES THE LANDED GENTRY
Having formed in the Autumn of 2007 by brothers Rion and Gavin McCartney, long time family friend David Doherty and local werewolf John Keaveney – HCTLG have grown in strength from day one. Having played some great gigs things took a real leap forwards following the induction of members Marty Doherty on vocals in Feb ’08 and Philip ‘Wally’ Wallace on drums the following month due to the departure of Gavin (Who still remains an integral part of the bands songwriting process). This shift meant a change in sound, attitude and style!
