_{Welsh band Those Damn Crows were my guests on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 7th October - http://www.rockradioni.co.uk/interviews.html}

_{I’m a huge fan of The Answer, but must admit I was getting a bit worried during the months of build up to the release of “Solas” about where the new direction was taking the band. Turns out that I needn't have been too concerned! I’d heard very little of the album prior to its release on 28th October via Napalm Records – a few tunes played in The Limelight in June, the title track and the first single “Beautiful World”. “Solas” was played on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 23rd Sept and 21st Oct and “Beautiful World” on 28th Oct.}
