Hoovering The Moon

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 ipod tunes Peter Edwards and a cover designed by Willy's son, Robert.

As well as the musicianship of Willy Russelll and Andy Roberts this CD features some outstanding contributions from musicians including Herbie Flowers, Rohan Kriwaczek, Louis Borenius, Mark Griffiths, Andy Cutting (Kate Rusby Band), Loretto Murray and Kate Rusby herself. Barbara Dickson sings alongside Willy Russell and also Iain Mathews (plus the full Plainsong ensemble), Tim Firth (playwright and a hidden singer/songwriter himself) plays piano and keyboards with, Paul Allen (drums), Bernard O'Neill (bass), and great contributions from John McCusker, Dave Holdsworth, Louis Borenius, Betty and Sioda Martin, Avril Crossley and Ann Rusby. And in a posthumous appearance the late Adrian Henri is heard reading an extract from his poem, Mrs. Albion You've Got A Lovely Daughter.

Hoovering The Moon is now out on general release and is available in record shops across the UK and you can buy it as an iTunes download from Apple.com ©.
