SPECIAL ST PATRICK’S NIGHT FUNDRAISER FOR MACMILLAN’S CANCER CARE- IN FOND MEMORY OF ALO CONLON,DUBLIN CASTLE CAMDEN LONDON:"THE VITAL SPARK- Excellent stuff from Cork...zippy, punky fare with a decidely Irish singing voice recalling The Undertones b.vs as perfected by Mickey Bradley in conjunction with the O’Neil brothers...the music is a blend of post punk stuff with crisp guitars, pounding riddims and that soaring voice. Sort of like Sonic Youth get a disco beat and some deeply decent tunes- and don’t ya just love the dirrrrty bass on ‘I'll Be’...No.2 Steve Lamacq band of the year tip on R1’s 'In New Music We Trust' vehicle too...."
