Ricky Warwick's double album, 'When Patsy Cline Was Crazy (And Guy Mitchell Sang The Blues)' and 'Hearts On Trees', was released in February of this year.
Today, Ricky returns with the official video for 'Schwaben Redoubt' premiering exclusively with War History Online. Ricky comments, "this is a song about a friendship found between two teenage lads from Ireland in a trench in Northern France on the morning of the 1st July 1916...a hundred years ago this year. One from the North, one from the South, who would on any other day hate each others guts but today all they have is each other, a shared fear of death and a shared name...Schwaben Redoubt was the name of the German position they walked towards that morning ....and into death.”

I’ve been playing tracks from Italian rockers Voodoo Highway on the NI Rocks Shows for a few years, so when I got an e-mail from Rock n Growl promotions about a new EP from the band I was keen to check it out. The EP is called “Pervert County” and it was released on 1st June. It is actually available for free download from the band’s Bandcamp site. There are three tracks on the EP and I played “NY Dancer” on the NI Rocks A-Z Show on 7th June.
