Just who was "Alive In Belfast" at the Warehouse Sessions?

August 29, 2007 8:23 PM

Somewhere in my travels I found the album "Alive In Belfast: The Warehouse Sessions." I have the song titles, but not the artists. Help!

It is a double cd of mostly Northern Irish artists. I know Iain Archer, Brian Houston, and David Ballentine have songs on the album. Help me remove the "unknown artist" as well as figure out who some of these artists are so I can buy more of their stuff.

Have you tried typing the song titles in Google? (Or you could type the song titles here and make it easier for us to help you)

'two tracks from the Bush Turkeys' apparently.

Just by typing the name of the album into google you find a lot of sites of bands who have contributed to this album. Such as:

Frankie Millers Full house
The Cattle Company
Colin Harper

I also had a look on freedb.com but couldn't find it there. To be honest im behind a proxy here so I couldn't check out a lot of the links on that google page. I also couldnt put it through musicbrainz. Which would have been my next attempt.
