- Willy Russell has released
his first album - HOOVERING THE MOON. And its available here...
-
- If you have toured this web
site you will know that Willy Russell has been writing songs
since the early 1960s. He wrote not only the book and the lyrics
but also the score for his musical Blood Brothers.
Plus we can add to this the fact that he has provided the scores
for the feature films, Shirley Valentine, Dancin'
Thru The Dark and Mr Love as well as for
the TV series Connie and the television play Terraces
and you might start to wonder why this album has been so long
coming...
-
- Hoovering The Moon has been co-produced by Andy Roberts
and Willy Russell and contains 14 self-penned tracks. The CD
is available with a special portrait by Peter Edwards and a cover
designed by Willy's son, Robert.
