Concept Albums
Michael J Sheehy & The Hired Mourners – With These Hands
With These Hands – The Rise And Fall Of Francis Delaney is one of those rare and dangerous things, a ‘concept album’. It tracks the life of prize-fighter Francis Delaney, and much like the fictional focus of its title, it has moments of glory and others spent flat on its arse.
The Week That Was – The Week That Was
Peter Brewis, once of Field Music, gets a chance to go solo with this concept album under the banner of The Week That Was. Charley Caines reviews.
