93 minutes, 20 acts – Belfast rock, folk, soul and country in 1995

Play this in the background, AW friends – a 93-minute rollercoaster of musical superbity from mid-90s Belfast. Read the story below if you wish, but don’t feel obliged…

‘Alive in Belfast: The Warehouse Sessions’ (2CD) was recorded on a wing and a prayer over four nights in April 1995, and released locally in a run of 1,000 a couple of months later. CDs were new and the ability to self-release them was just catching on. It was, at that time, a much more expensive prospect than it is even now. I recall using a pressing place in Dublin, Trend, that seemed very swanky. It required hard cash (or a banker’s draft) up front. These days, you phone a broker up and they outsource it to somewhere in Eastern Europe and you’ll still get change out of a grand, which you’ll have paid by credit card, probably 30 days later.

The whole project cost over £8,000 – 16-track recording and mixing, photography, design, pressing. I wrote extensive booklet notes and had fun with Mark Case designing the booklet.

Significant historical things that happened in 1995. Were there any?

Greetings Afterworders

It’s that time of year. I have to create a video for the my company’s Annual conference.

The theme this year is “We’ve been around for 20 years”, so i’m thinking hmm… 1995

First off I will record a lyrically modified version of Prince’s 1999 so that ‘s the soundtrack taken care of.

Next up is more tricky…. i want to do little skits referring to significant things that happened in 1995, only I can’t think of many.

So far, I have:

1) Eric Cantona kung-fu kicks a Crystal Palace fan 2) 1% of the population have internet access (600,000 people)

Err,.. that’s it

Another one and the last one is obviously going to be REL Field Marketing are formed (huge fanfare)

But, really need more than that to do 3 minutes of content.

Any of you AW folk have any suggestions?
