These include: Aslan ‘All I Want Is You’, The Blizzards ‘Black And Gold’, Tom Baxter ‘Back To Black’, The Coronas ‘Hello’, Republic Of Loose ‘Electric Feel’, Director/Cathy Davey ‘Where The Wild Roses Grow’, Declan O’Rourke ‘Mercy’, Dave Browne ‘I Love It When You Call’, Ham Sandwich ‘Piece Of Me’, Ruth Anne ‘American Boy’/‘Kiss’, Colm Lynch ‘All These Things That I’ve Done’, Owen Brady ‘Light My Fire’, Boyzone ‘Father & Son’ and Shayne Ward ‘What About Me?’
As usual, proceeds from the 2CD package – which also includes 11 comedy sketches – go to Temple Street Children’s University Hospital.
Also hitting the tacks this week is MT USA 2, a second, 54-track tribute to Fab Vinny Hanley and the RTE video show that made Sundays worth living for back in the ‘80s.
