1+2

It’s easy to lump Peter McCauley, the man behind Lisburn’s Rams’ Pocket Radio, in with Gary Lightbody, Tom Chaplain and a half dozen others who appear to write songs exclusively with the aim of having them chanted back at them by thousands of croaking drunkards at a heaving stadium gig, but this particular pop rocker, who takes his name from German industrial designer Dieter Rams and is an alumnus of the Youth Orchestra of Northern Ireland, is a little different. ‘1 + 2’ may not have the same lineage as your average chart-topper, but with its crashing cymbals, brutishly beaten-out piano lines and anthemic chorus, it’s destined to end up in precisely the same place.
