Ann Scott back on the horse

Ann Scott makes a welcome return with 'Start', the first single to be culled from her Poor Horse album which follows on September 19.

Generous person that she is, a limited number of free copies are being made available via her www.annscott.net website.

One of the Whelan's family of singer-songwriters, Scott recorded the opus at Blackbox studios in France with well-known scenesters Dave Hingerty on drums and Karl Odlum on bass.

You can get a sneak preview when Scott plays Tower Records, Dublin (September 18); Whelan's, Dublin (21); and The Lobby, Cork (24).
