Our Take

Tony McManus and Alain Genty's latest offering, "The Singing Sands," is a genre-bending masterpiece that will have you tapping your foot and scratching your head in equal measure. The duo's expert craftsmanship and undeniable chemistry on this album is like watching two maestros engaging in a musical sword fight, with each note and riff slicing through the air with precision and finesse.

From the hauntingly beautiful "The Mermaid's Song" to the rollicking "The Rolling Wave," McManus and Genty take listeners on a sonic journey that is as unpredictable as it is mesmerising. The album effortlessly blends traditional Celtic influences with modern flourishes, creating a sound that is both timeless and fresh.

McManus's intricate guitar work is a sight to behold, with each pluck and strum transporting you to a windswept cliff overlooking the sea. Genty's accordion playing is equally mesmerising, adding layers of depth and emotion to each track.

But what truly sets "The Singing Sands" apart is the duo's ability to inject humour and personality into their music. From the cheeky wink in "The Lighthouse Keeper's Waltz" to the sly grin in "The Jig of Slurs," McManus and Genty keep the listener on their toes, never allowing them to settle comfortably into one genre or mood.

In conclusion, "The Singing Sands" is a musical rollercoaster that will leave you breathless and exhilarated. Tony McManus and Alain Genty have crafted a gem of an album that is as delightful as it is unexpected. Trust us, you won't want to miss this one.
