One asks ' where can "Irelands Best Appear Next"? The international ..'3Uccess of the year is bet,,een U. 2 who had two hit singles and an album in the Brit ish charts, Chris de Burgh, who was presented with four gold and a pl atinum album in Canada, and in Norway had six albums in the charts simultan– eously, or the Fureys and Davy Arthur for their number one hit here 11 When You Were Sweet 16". On the homefront Big Tom was t he number one ball– room draw, while Bagatelle were asking for £4,500 fees. Flops of the year Boomtown Rats, L~V's "Country Style", which production wise was dreadful. Worst recor ds a tie bet ,.reen "Dogeen 11 -B. Shi ne, 11 Birthpl ace Donegal - G. Stuart, and that tribute to Charlie 11 Char lie 1 s Song" by the Morris sey' s, which could have lost him the election. Top New– comers '~1, a gentleman called Nike Barr att from 1-lales, better known as Shakin Stevens, and of course here at home !>iOVING HEAR'£5 . CRACK WlliE I feel t hat pop band Crack featuring \ Hiami survivor 3 teven Travers and Tommy Lunny have tremendous potential. Their single 11 Go Away" is indeed superb and this is followed by a long awaited LP, "Dawn of the Crack". CIB Records are highly excited about this band and feel they could become the hit sound of 1 S2. I certainly feel that Crack are original and are wort hy of success af ter many years for the musicians seeking that big break . The Crack, a hit sound for S2 ye hope.
