   About Ian Whitty And The Exchange

• Ian Whitty and The Exchange's new album ‘The Lucky Caller N° 9’ is out now.

'The Lucky Caller No.9' is the long awaited first full length studio album from Ian Whitty And The Exchange. The record was produced by top Irish producer Ken McHugh (Dave Kitt, Autamata) and mastered by Dave Collins in Los Angeles (Bruce Springsteen, Janes Addiction). It was recorded by Ian Whitty And The Exchange in 2007 between the legendary Connelleys of leap in West Cork and Adda/My Sanctuary studio's in the hills of Wicklow.

The singles from the album 'Not On Your Side' and 'Houndstooth Shirt' have been playlisted on national, regional and college stations nationwide. 'Houndstooth shirt' also appeared on this years IMRO Tour compilation. Lush strings and brass dominate the indie pop arrangements of the new recordings and the up tempo nature of the songs marks an exciting progression from Ian's stripped back beginnings.

Since Ian's emergence, he has been a highly active figure in the thriving Cork scene, indeed members of The Exchange also share duties with Armoured Bear, Stanley Super 800 with members of FRED contributing to the album. In the past Ian has also been invited to perform with many of the luminaries of the Irish scene including Damien Rice, Bell X1, Josh Ritter, The Frames and Roderigo y Gabriella.

Ian is a songwriter who firmly believes in craft and in always placing substance over style. He is most often praised for his distinctive vocal delivery and lyricism that manages to be urgent, humorous and razor sharp without ever sacrificing the storytelling that underpins his songs.

Ian Whitty And The Exchange were also amongst the first acts to be selected by Alison Curtis of Today FM in her Ireland Rocks section where she gives the thumbs up to the cream of up and coming Irish Acts. Most recently 'The Lucky caller No 9.' was voted into the top ten debut Irish albums of last year by the readers of hot press.

Praise for Ian Whitty And The Exchange:

'A serious talent'~John Creedon, RTE Radio 1.

'Just when you thought the one guy and a guitar formula was done… He is so much more! ~Alison Curtis, Today FM.

‘The Lucky Caller No. 9 gets our nod for feel good album of the Autumn.’ ~Shilpa Ganatra, Irish Daily Star.

‘A set of such sterling quality you’d be forgiven for thinking he has a huge back catelogue of classics to call upon. It bodes well for his forthcoming album.’ ~Don O Mahony, The Evening Echo

'Pop music this good is as rare as coconuts in Antarctica.'~James Holland, Drop D.

‘One of the finest at his craft in the country.’ ~Ciaran Ryan, Cluas.com

‘Excellent album stuffed with potential hits', Micahel Carr, Hot Press

‘One of the most emotive and versatile bands around right now.’ ~Tim Peacock, Whisperinandhollerin.com

‘Ian Whitty and the Exchange have finally released their debut record and this indie pop folk inflicted record is a joy.’ ~Rob Mac Na Mara, Red Track Music.

'A wonderful Album' Aoife Barry, The Event Guide.
