What's
a "Skelly," you ask? A "Skelly Scouse" is a term
used in certain parts of Ireland to describe the offspring of Irish
immigrants living in Liverpool, England. This 13 song collection takes listeners on a journey reflecting Michael's own life experiences growing up in Liverpool, and in Ireland. Traces of mersey beat, folk, rock and blues are evident, along with a strong Celtic theme throughout. "Here Comes The Skelly" expertly blends traditional and contemporary instrumentation and vocals, capturing a truly unique flavour.

what people are saying about |
|
"Snow's
voice is all rough and edgy, perfect for the conceit of the disc,
and the talent (both writing and performance) brought to the table
on this project is formidable. I encourage you to seek this disc
out." "In
our opinion, it's one of the best albums of original Irish ballads
in many a year." "An
extremely well produced set of celtic folk-pop. Everything about
this project sounds just right!" "Comes
on like an American Eric Bogle...a commendable degree of word power
and narrative quality...modern day folk balladry...well above the
norm." "A
love of Irish music; songs that are personal and meaningful. The
Skelly says it all." "More heart and soul than almost anyone I know. A great writer, a wonderful message. Put this disc on...and let it Snow!"...DENNIS LOCORRIERE "If you're looking for an alternative to the showbiz razzamatazz that's often attached to all things celtic these days, check out Michael Snow. He's the real thing."...CLIVE GREGSON |
