Influences
"PreNup has a distinguished pedigree (ex-Pogues bassist Cáit O'Riordan teamed with singer/guitarist Fiachna Ó Braonáin and drummer Dave Clarke of the Hothouse Flowers). The songs on their dynamite new album, Hell to Pay, look at the vagaries of love and loss with weary knowingness and a gritty, countrified sound."
Michael Harrington, Philadelphia Inquirer Sep 16 2007
"Corralling influences from the likes of sleazy Rolling Stones, strung-out Heartbreakers, raunchy David Bowie and down-to-earth U2, the record rocks in all the right places."

The Irish Times on 'Hell To Pay'
What happens when members of two of the greatest bands in Irish rock history get together? Something incredible… Back from their lengthy US tour, Fiachna O Braonain and Dave Clarke of the Hothouse Flowers met up with Cait O Riordan of the Pogues, and the result is.. Prenup.
The first session happened by accident, jamming together at a party in a castle in the foothills of Ireland’s spectacular Wicklow Mountains, it was one of those legendary moments in music that happen by chance, and that no one present will ever forget.
Classy guitar, insistent bass and drums, gritty vocals and songs written by rockers who know what they’re doing… talkin’ about a foolish love, Prenup started recording. Making noise in a disused office block in Dublin’s famous Temple Bar, followed by two days at Elektra Studios, Prenup laid down their first tracks, guerrilla-style, then got on the road.
Gigging in the wild West of Ireland, in the heat of Austin, Texas for SXSW, and as special guests for Hothouse Flowers on their US tour, Prenup rocked the house wherever they went while at home put the finishing touches to their debut album "Hell to Pay". It was released in North America on Sep 4th 2007, in Ireland on April 4th 2008 with plans to release worldwide to follow! Those in the know can’t wait…

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace...
Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?
