We’re pleased to re-issue Phil’s 2005 CD ‘This Day’ as a free download. This 14 track album of original songs and settings features band favourites such as ‘County Cork to Downeast Maine’, ‘Dunmanus Bay’ and ‘Crossing Brooklyn Bridge’. It’s produced by Frank McCarthy and features Steve & Penny Benford, Chris Pitcher, Milli Galgut, Rick Dizon and Ali Dennis.
You can download all 14 tracks free from Soundcloud at this link.
Catch up with Phil’s account of his trip to Moniack Mhor where he wrote The Distance – the title track of our new album.
Thanks Muff Fitzgerald for this lovely review. Well more of a full-on psychoanalysis of Phil really.
“Looking into Langran’s brain is rather like looking into the Chauvet Cave with a torch. Marvels that shimmer with great beauty are painted on the walls of his occipital lobe, reflected in the flickering flames of his calming songs. Beautiful plumes rise and billow with the wind and then disperse like motes of dust. Just like us.”
Thanks to Ian Taylor of R2 – Rock’n’Reel – magazine for reviewing the Distance.
“It is hard, however, to single out highlights on an album packed with them, and which has no weak link”
“The intelligence, emotion, poetry and poignancy in his writing and performance is there for all to hear. Compelling stuff.”
