Engine Alley - Song for Someone

Got it into my head that this used be a great song, so eventually I found it on youtube.
It's actually not bad!

I have a good selection of stuff at home (spent the early 90's in Freebird). Let me know what you're looking for and I'll see if I have it.

I remember seeing Engine Alley on TV as a youngster! Just wathched some of their videos on youtube. They were good, are they still going?, I'd like to see them live.

I have almost everything they released. 'Song for Someone' should be Track4 (on both versions of the album).

They still play gigs in Kilkenny about two or three times a year. Sometimes during the Rhythm 'n' Roots Festival in the summer and during the Christmas/New Years break. Canice has another project going called 'Rigmarole' who do a few gigs as well.

Holy hell but they are fantastic.

Think i saw a coment on Youtube about a gig in Whelan's, 9th June?

Thats a little disparaging she was gorgeous and part of what made them interesting.Im sure u meant no offense .they are still great and looking forward to their gig in workmans ..I think it would be incredible if they can get the full lineup back ..akin to the pumpkins getting darcy back.
