LUMP Music

The Half Moon, Putney 24/03/06:

The gig itself was kicked off by Niall Quinn (not to be confused with the Irish footballer of the same name). This guy is excellent. A superb voice and some superb songs had everyone thoroughly engaged. The harmonica really added something to his country tinged folk sound and when he was joined onstage by his female singing partner for one last hurrah, the harmonies blew everyone away, myself included. This is all compounded by the fact that Niall is also a thoroughly nice bloke to boot. We certainly hope to see him again at a lump show.

Under Same Sky

Niall's inlay shot of him in plaid shirt, fisherman’s cap and sucking on a cigarette sums him up nicely. Unpretentious, homely acoustic music that veers in similar directions to messers Gray and Blunt without being irritating with it. Indeed, there is a candle-lit Dylan-esque waft to his harmonica-infused modern folk. Gentle, easing voice and thoughtful lyrics. Despite the autumnal nature of the cover, this is a record for all seasons; bleak midwinter and summer haze caught in an easy strum and the occasional piano flutter.
