ozzMium

The band has been going since february 2006, the first song ever recorded being "Control" a metal song with emo undertones. Song became a live favourite amongst fans and onlookers at gigs around the Newry and Mourne area. This song is now the weakest song in the complete set. The music has become much heavier and sounding much more like the Metalcore idols of the band members. New songs are currently written. Recording will take place in late January so a demo will be available in the Late Febuary. Songs for this are decided and we are looking foward to getting it out there

Neil Hannon

Neil Hannon (born November 7, 1970) is a singer and songwriter, best known as the creator and lead member of the orchestral pop group The Divine Comedy. The band's official website even goes so far as to say, "The Divine Comedy is Neil Hannon," and Hannon is quoted in an interview as saying, "The Divine Comedy will always be my band because... I thought of it first!" In 2005 he contributed vocals to his long-time collaborator Joby Talbot's soundtrack for the movie version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Duke Special

Duke Special, a.k.a. Peter Wilson, is a Belfast artist with an unique sound, often referred to as 'vaudeville'. His songs are shaped by an omnipresent piano, harps, brass, strings and - his trademark on stage - an old gramophone. The result are very romantic and passionate little hymns with the Duke's soft vocals. A quite antique sound, but never old-fashioned. Music was all he ever wanted to do.
