Here are the web addresses of some of the local bands, promoters etc that are on Twitter.

Can't guarantee that all the sites are used much and some of the bands have now split-up, but check them out if you're interested.

Magnum – On The 13^th Day

I have to admit that in over thirty years of listening to and buying rock music I’ve never really paid much attention to Magnum. I’m not really sure why, but they just weren’t a band I followed in the 80s and I don’t own any of their albums. Apologies to all the die-hard Magnum fans, of which there are many!

So it was with a rather cynical head that I clicked on the link to the album download that the good people at Workhard PR had sent to Rock Radio NI. As always I had a wee listen before making a decision on downloading! Let’s just say I was rather surprised by what I heard and it was a no-brainer to hit the download button.

LET'S face it, we've always had a soft spot for Magnum: great guys, great music and something uniquely of these island in terms of their sound.
