"OPTIMIST" got together in april 2006 with no intention of giggin.it was gonna be a one off to perform at a tribute gig. Originally named "Peechy" and formed in 1997 with original drummer "Dougy Flack" we done a dozen gigs but then split. Then on 28/01/06 doug lost his life in an accident aged 34.so like i said we were gonna do one gig as a tribute to him,one of my closest mates and drummer for 14 years.
I then asked Ciaran if he'd drum for this,he agreed so we had a jam,it sounded great so a change of name and some new tunes and here we are.
So we hope u like what we do and if so,spread the good word.

MyGen Profile Generator our review for our esquires gig...so happy to be appreciated .REVIEWED BY BEDFORDALTERNATIVEMUSIC....
The Optimist were next with possibly one of the best drummers and most amazing songs and tunes, not so much of an energetic performance, more reliant on their soul grabbing material which makes you want to listen with total appreciation.One of the best songs from any local band is by this one and having peeked at their set list and knowing when it would come, felt tortured by the technical sound problems before the song in question - 'The Moon' but it got played eventually and this reviewer liked hearing it live immensely. Their band members seem really cool people and have an older ranged fan base enjoying their set also.
