THE PUNDITS tend to get all sniffy about Aslan, but the fact is, there ain’t that much difference between the Northside quintet and the likes of Ocean Colour Scene or Cast or even Oasis – working class traditionalists specialising in whitebread Beatles values, an old fashioned adherence to live work, and a melodic but inarticulate speech of the heart.

ASLAN (Midnight At The Olympia, Dublin) EXPECTATIONS and emotions were high, and given further impetus by the behind-the-curtains intro to 'It's Been So Long', and the big question on everyone's mind was the obvious one? Could Aslan, after a five year break still have the old, old magic.
