The Saw Doctors
UK Tour November to December 2012
THE Saw Doctors who are
currently headlining a 29 date Coast to Coast Tour of the US and
Canada, will embark on their largest ever UK Tour in November and
December 2012! With 14 shows in major markets such as London's 02
Shepherds Bush Empire, Manchester's 02 Apollo and Edinburgh's HMV
Picturehouse, it will be quite a tour! In 2011, The Saw
Doctors had a runaway hit with their cover of Petula Clark's classic
1960's pop single, Downtown which reached Number 2 in December,
pipped only by the X Factor band, Little Mix. Petula Clark joined
the band in the studio to re-record the chorus and harmony and acted
a cameo role in the Downtown video which was filmed in Paris and the
streets of Galway.
Prodigious young talent Rickie O'Neill (21) has joined The Saw
Doctors as their new drummer, replacing Eimhin Cradock - Rickie
wasn't even born when The Saw Doctors scored their first Irish
Number One, I Useta Lover back in 1990.
Over the past couple of years, The Saw Doctors are more popular than
ever after almost 2 decades. Universal Music released their
"Best Of" collection, "To Win Just Once.. The Best of
The Saw Doctors" which charted at Number Three in Ireland
and went on to achieve Platinum Status. In the Christmas of 2010 The
Saw Doctors hit Number One on iTunes with their Acapella version of
Red Cortina from their debut album, If This Is Rock & Roll I Want My
Old Job Back.
Formed in 1988, The Saw Doctors have achieved eighteen Top Thirty
singles and three Number One hits in Ireland. Loved and revered by
their loyal fans, the juggernaut that is the Saw Doctors keeps
rolling on and shows no signs of slowing anytime soon. If you
haven’t seen them before, make sure to get tickets to what is one of
the most memorable, enjoyable, exhilarating gigs you’ll ever see.
In their own words:- "Born into a repressed, catholic,
conservative, small-town agarian, angst-ridden and showband infested
society we’re trying to preserve the positive elements of our
background and marry them to the sounds which have culturally
invaded our milieu through TV, radio 45's, fast food restaurants, 24
hour petrol stations and electric blankets."

Alyssa Reid will
be soon on her way to Liverpool!
ALYSSA Reid took Canada by
storm in 2011 with her debut album "The Game",
featuring the double platinum hit single "Alone Again".
With the new year, she is now more than ever a force to be reckoned
with. On top of her pack leading, 5 Canadian Radio Music Award
nominations, this morning Alyssa was nominated for her first Juno
Award for New Artist of the Year!
Alyssa’s meteoric rise here at home is now being mirrored
internationally where the talented songstress is making some serious
waves across the pond. Her debut single "Alone Again"
has been the 1 searched song on Shazam in the United Kingdom for
three weeks running, was the 1 pre-ordered download on iTunes last
week and the song debut at 1 on the UK sales chart. The song is
burning up the radio air-waves across the British Isles, where it
currently sits at 1 on BBC 1’s A-list airplay chart, is in heavy
rotation at national chains Kiss and Capitol FM and currently sits
at 18 on the UK radio airplay chart.
And that’s just the song itself! The video for "Alone Again"
is also taking the country by storm, being added to heavy rotation
at every video outlet, including Dance Nation, The Chart Show, and
MTV UK. Hitting 4 on the TV airplay chart Alone Again is now the
only song in the history of the UK to be in the top 10 prior to the
release of the record. Check out the video blog from her recent trip
to the UK here. All of this recent UK heat has led to major interest
elsewhere, with dozens of countries across Europe and around the
world gearing up for a wide-scale international release. Alyssa is
everywhere!
Following the huge success Alyssa saw with her first two singles
Alone Again and the title track from her debut album The Game, she
has recently released the third, Talk Me Down. The song and upcoming
video, currently under production, explores a very personal issue;
bullying. The powerful song and video revolve around Alyssa’s
heartfelt lyrics that talk of perseverence, inner strength, and the
ability to move on. Alyssa’s Toronto fans will also get the chance
to be in the new video. By tweeting their ideas on how we can
overcome bullying together, and using the hashtag #YouWontTalkMeDown,
tweeters can earn the chance to be in the video while helping to
bring awareness and positive thoughts to the subject.
Continuing the momentum of her already amazing 2012, Alyssa is
embarking on her first UK tour this April!
11 April at London Borderline
12 April at Birmingham The Temple
13 April at Manchester Club Academy
15 April at Glasgow ABC 2
