Thread Name: Anyone heard Ollabelle?
Subject: RE: Anyone heard Ollabelle?
I have the first CD and really enjoyed it.   Liked some tracks better than others, but that is not unusual.   I am glad to have the CD. I made a special effort to see them at Folk Alliance but on that occasion it seemed liked the singers were accompanying the drummer and I had to leave after about three numbers.   The drums were at least two, maybe three times, louder than anything else.   In that small room the drums did not need to miked at all.   But that is the fault of the sound guys not the band. I think I would have like the vocals if I could have heard them.

And they do pay homage to Ola Belle Reed. Using her name was intentional as a way of remembering her.
