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".
