Fabulous…what a great thing to do for all involved and some feat to organise.
I will definitely be getting a few albums for Christmas presents and myself of course.

Brilliant song on Late late …..It could have been written about my dog Polly

Hi San, there’ll be others more in the know than myself about this that can give updates perhaps. This is as far as my geeky research has got me. The album is due for release on the 7th of December, will be called Oscar The Hypno-Dog and Other Tales. One Ear Up, One Ear Down was written for Molly dog, she is named in the lyrics, written by Cathy Davey. The song is ALL about this crazy, mixed up hound adopted by Cathy from Dogs in Distress some time ago. The band is Harry Holler and the Hooligans. There are a few of the faces in the band, Sharon Shannon and Neil Hannon as well as Cathy.

Here is the chopped up Late Late Show with just this song:

I believe the whole album will be about dogs. I’m not too well up on "the scene" so can’t figure out who else is in the band, I bet those in the know could point them out. I’m not clued in to iPods and that so I’m hoping to buy an actual physical CD, as they used to call them in my day, after we got rid of the record player. The proceeds are going to Dogs in Distress. I hope my efforts help!

Watch this space for more (accurate) details…

Thanks San. I believe I saw somewhere there’d be 15 singles about dogs. I agree, it would be good to have something to mark the release. It is a the best strategy to keep up the momentum of the LLS publicity.
