Member Since7/20/2006
Band Websitewww.vivyouell.com
Band MembersViv Youell on guitar & vocals Richard Murray on guitar * *** * FIRELOGIC WAS RECORDED BY: VIV YOUELL - vox and acoustic guitar. RICHARD MURRAY - vox, acoustic & electric guitars, mandolin, bodhran, dobro, fretless bass, percussion. NIC FRANCE - drums and percussion. MARTYN SWAIN - bass. SPENCER BROWN - double bass. Engineered by - IAN TOMPSON. Mastered by - GARETH WILLIAMS. Manufactured by Sound Recording Technology. B/W Photography- PATRICK YOUELL. Graphic Design - PAULA KEOGH.
InfluencesInfluenced?...Occasionally and only by the best. The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Chrissie Hynde, Dolly Parton, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Eva Cassidy, Cat Stevens, Jeff Buckley, Genesis, ACDC... and from this point on it gets more bizarre, more eclectic and possibly more confusing for even me to understand! Gloriously fascinated with the classic writers Gershwin, Cole Porter, Kander & Ebb and especially the very clever Stephen Sondheim and Elvis Costello. Then there's all the rest...although none of this is in any particular order - Elvis, The Beatles, Doris Day & Rod Steward for his writing rather than tight trews!

Long time no see, Viv.

I hope you're still writing lots of songs - I'm looking forward to the follow-up to "Firelogic".

And let's have a few gigs as well. I'll do my best to show up to as many as possible, and try to bring a few friends as well!

Best wishes to you and Richard.

Thanks Viv, that's very kind. I wish I had the talent to write like you do.
We must find you a nice friendly studio so you can do some more recordings!

Happy New Year, Viv!

Let's have some more gigs from you in 2009 (you're far too talented to hide your light under the proverbial bushel).
Very best wishes to young maestro Richard as well!

Hi Viv
Spooky indeed! From the first time I heard Loftholdingswood I was hooked by Cathal's voice and music - Microdisney were one of my favourite bands of that era and I've followed the splinter groups ever since
Thank you for such a timely reminder...
Cheers
Neil
