LISTEN: New Tom McShane album

Co. Down singer Tom has just released his debut album The Ural Winter.

The LP was recorded over two live sessions held in front of a small audience in Belfast's Oh Yeah Centre on July 3, 2010.

Says McShane: "This wasn't a live album per se, as the audience where there to bring the special atmosphere that can only be generated by performing to a crowd. The tension was raised further by the banning of over-dubs and attempts for each song being restricted to one per session, of which there were two."
