Faith Petric and Sing Out! reviews of 'Below the Radar'

Below the Radar

Faith Petric (USA) February 2010:
"As the title suggests, the subjects of most of these 13 songs are not among those getting intense public scrutiny. They’re below the radar, focusing on what is of continuous and primary importance to many of us: peace, visions of a more just and loving world, poverty, international relations and more. There are also a couple of great love songs and a definitive paean to the pleasure of people singing together……… Bailey’s long and illustrious career places him as one of the finest of England’s singers…… You will play this CD often, learn and sing its songs with friends."

Sing Out! Jan 2010:
If there was justice, Bailey would be recognised for his real importance and contribution to English folk music over the last half century. He’s good – very, very good. But, as it is, this album title is very apt. The music within, however, soars skyward.

JUST ROY BAILEY

After the amazingly successful concert in Sheffield City Hall, to celebrate 50 years in the business, Roy is once again collaborating with Mrs Casey Music to bring his unique songs and style to the Memorial Hall in Sheffield City Hall on Sunday 31st October 2010, 'Just Roy Bailey' will be exactly what is says - a couple of hours in the company of, what Tony Benn described as ‘the greatest socialist folk singer of his generation’.

‘Roy represents the very soul of folk’s working class ideals… a triumphal homage to the grass roots folk scene as a radical alternative to the mainstream music industry.’ Colin Irwin, MOJO Magazine.

Building on the strength of his very successful latest album ‘Below the Radar’ Roy is still regularly touring English folk clubs and concert halls and brings his specially extended show to his home town of Sheffield at the end of the festival season 2010.

Full details and tickets etc will be appearing on the Mrs Casey Music website as well as here, early in the New Year. We hope you will be able to join us.
