The family who won the Letterkenny : International Folk Festival two years back haTe a single and album on Ge.el-Linn awaiting release. , Clod Mfl.e .!!'Ailto: Singer Seamus HcGee spends the month · of October attending rehearsals and adding final arrangements to the three songs he has selected for his forthcoming maxi single which will be issued by Brookhill Records. .!!'or the promotion side he has selected that lovel7 Mo Bandy number ttAccidentally On Purpose", and for the flip side the Johnny MacCauley ballad "Donegal Shores", while the final track a tender Gaelic ballad 11 Stoir:!n Mo Chro.f' vas composed by the talented Seamus himselt, along with Tomis 0 Cuireain. The new maxi single should be in the shops by mid-November. Meanwhile another cousin Colm Hughes of the Superstars has a record on release "CUt Of Time", a good pop offering from one of the most under-rated pop bands around. We wish Colm the best of success· with his single and await also that new single from Seamus with much interest. 4 BIG BUDGE!': Poligram Records have decided to spend the grand total of £500,000, in a bid to make Bagatelle a household name throughout &lrope. Already their new single "Love Is the Reason" is enjoying the big promotion push and this will be followed by a new album from the boys. The album vas produced by Gus Dugdenn who vas behind Elton John's successful run. Can he repeat this success formula for Liam Reilly, John 0 1 Brien, Ken Doyle and Wally McConville with their original sounds. I am certain that Bagatelle have international star potential• . Without~ major budget The Furey Brother's and Davy Arthur have made the British charts with "When You Were Sweet Sixteen". 4 great sound, sung by the greatest bunch of folk artists around. THE WORST SOUNWs We have numerous awards for the best, etc, etc around. &t as yet no awards for the worst sounds around. Over the past two months I would s~ that 11 I Am A. Cannioal" from Th& Magic Band and "Birthplace Donegal 11 sung without ~ feeling by a Tyrone cowboy called Gene Stuart must tie for this "Worst Single Award". Haw foolish Magic look with their Cannibal style gimmick, and how foolish it sounds for a Tyrone man trying to con us in song with "Birthplace Donegal". I feel that such records may be seen but never heard. Such material is almost as bad as the songs on offer at the Castlebar International Song Contest.
