One Week in….
Its now one week since ‘The Beat Poets’ released their latest musical offering with ‘The Making’ E.P and the response has been fantastic. The title track has seen airplay on Cool Fm, 2fm, BBC Radio one NI, ATL, WLR FM and Phantom to name but a small selection. This week the band will appear in the Irish News and Alternative Ulster Magazines as well as entering their 4th week on the U105 playlist as well as hitting the 98fm, QR and BFBS playlists. So far the following has been said about the Poets new tracks:
‘An emerging young band who show immense promise and seem to have the talent to go all the way’ - Sunday World - 6th Dec 2009
‘The Making’ confirming the band as one of Northern Irelands brightest rising stars’ - Mid Ulster Mail Nov 2009
Title track is a corker….recommended download’ - Hotpress Nov 2009
‘They have the earnest heart on sleeve lyrics, big sound and bigger choruses; The Beat Poets are poised to be the finest purveyors of stirring rock in a long time. If it’s your thing, check them out’ - Cluas Nov 2009
Last thursday the band headlined the Spring and Airbrake in Belfast as part of showcase for bands from the Poets home area, some photos below of a great night!
Finally due to unforseen circumstances the band’s performance at Whelans this coming Thursday the 10th of Dec has been postponed until early in the new year, a new date will be announced this weekend.
