Hi all.
I am new to this forum. Actually found it while doing a search for Willie week. Cool forum. Great   to have access to such a resouse...
By the way I was in Miltown for Willie week this year and I came across this wonderfull singer/songwriter named Claire Watts who is from Galway or Miltown I believe. I heard her singing on the tuesday afternoon some of her own material. It was amazing.
I bought her CD and the songs are so heartfelt and touching.
Worth checking out BIG TIME.
She has a web site with some MP£ samples on. Its at http://www.clairemwatts.com
Looking forward to next year and maybe another lucky find.
Talk soon

There is a lot of musical talent tucked away in little villages as well as cities around the world. It is nice to stumble on a person or group that moves one with their music.   Mudcat is also a great place to find songs, singers, and musicians and information. Thanks for passing on the information about Claire.

You are welcome Arkie
I just felt so touched by her material. It makes me angry to hear some of the rubbish that is released and then you come accross something like this.....

Hmm, well, I listened to the MP3s on the site and was not moved at all. I found it typical singer-songwriter fare. But I don't expect everyone to agree with my tastes and I wish Clare Watts the best of luck.

"I found it typical singer-songwriter fare"

Fair enough radriano but the MP3 are just small bits of the songs, do you not think it a bit presumptuous basing your opinion on them???

diamond33,

The MP3s on the site are there specifically so that one can form an opinion. If I don't like what I heard there I doubt I would like the album itself. I don't find that presumptuous.

I think it's great that you are so moved by this singer - I'm not trying to detract from that. Surely you don't expect everyone to like what you do?
