Sleeve Notes
"Come over and hear him," said his good friend, Johnny. "He has a voice that could stop a train".
So I went and listened … to sixteen bars … but Pearse Plunkett's voice STARTED A TRAIN!
A train of thought in my mind, which, in express time, produced this album.
Climb aboard, then. The signals are set.
Dubliner Pearse Plunkett is steaming to stardom.
Tony Johnston
