Mick McGarry, better known to fellow Mudcatters as Ossonflags has produced his first solo CD 'Raggy Lad'. Mick is the singer with local folk band 'Punch the Horse', but on this occasion has left the band (mostly) behind to record 17 tracks illustrating a lifetime spent amongst strong songs.
With musical support from a range of local musicians and vocal support from Hissyfit (Linda Kelly and Hazel Ritchings), these songs well illustrate Mick's great command of a song. I recommend this recording to Mick's many fans, and to everyone else who enjoys good songs well sung. Mudcatters can get in touch with Mick by PM.
