Ian McNabb releases
"The Gentleman Adventurer"
1st October
2002: Acclaimed singer/songwriter, and occasional Waterboy,
Ian McNabb has released his latest studio album, "The Gentleman
Adventurer". From the West Coast-inspired "Nothin'
but Time" to the nostalgic childhood memories of "German Soldier's Helmet
Circa 1943" right through to the mischeviously catchy "Gulf
Coast Rockin'" the album has something for everyone.
If you have never
heard Ian's music before then this is the ideal work to start
with, and at £14 (within the UK) including postage and
packing is the bargain of the autumn. Find it, and details of
Ian's forthcoming UK tour, at http://www.ianmcnabb.com.

Are *you* "Too
Close To Heaven" ?
The Waterboys' new album
-- "Too Close to Heaven" -- was released on 24th
September 2001 in the UK and Europe. Featuring never-before-released
tracks from the Fisherman's Blues sessions the album proves
the "Missing Link" between the heavily rock-orientated
"This is the Sea" and the more folky "Fisherman's
Blues". The album was also released in the US in the Summer
of 2002, re-titled "Fisherman's Blues 2" and
featuring an additional bonus CD featuring such classics as
"Ain't Leavin, I'm Gone" and "Lost and Lonesome
a long long way from Home".
