This was a great chat with Pete & Gary from Irish rockers, Silent Running. A band who enjoyed 2 major label signings but because of the time spent in London and America, a loyal local Irish following wasn't really achieved at the time. However, some anthemic strong material formed a solid back catalogue With comparisons to U2 and Simple Minds.
With a new album and a helping hand from The Arts Council Of Northern Ireland, a new lease of life has allowed the band to enjoy something of a revival.
The guys also choose some great 80s tracks for us - DA.
