REVIEWS Blues Matters Magazine Feb/Mar '06 ...Like the very best of Oasis' grand balladry, Niall presses all the right buttons, which works adequately as the songs move the listener, delicately, through the opening three or four numbers… lyrically Niall shows real sharpness and awareness of modern society. - Cooty http://www.bluesmatters.com FATEA "Under Same Sky" is more than pretty good. Its originator knows how to pen a song. I find it difficult to fault any songwriter who can get Battenberg cake into the lyric of a song, particularly when the song also summons up images of waiters working hard to make sure the table is properly sorted for a couple in love. Niall Quinn is a highly evocative writer. He places you, the listener, at the centre of most of the songs. Sometimes cast as an innocent bystander just watching the world go by, at other times shoulder to shoulder with the participants and on other occasions as the voyeur who can't quite turn away from the intimate scene unraveling in front of them. Sometimes the songs are so stripped back you wonder what Niall is going to shed next. There's not a note wasted or a phrase un-necessarily added. Each song is the complete entity, you just feel that you want to give it a bowl of chicken soup to help it get it's strength back, but really you know that there's plenty of strength there. Niall delivers his songs with oodles of Gaelic charm. Quinn writes about life as he finds it. He has a big heart that he vocalises well. "Under Same Sky" is one of those albums that would add to any collection. Niall Quinn has a poet’s soul! **** - Neil Fatea http://www.fatea-records.co.uk
