Irish sibling duo The Guzzlers return with second single, “The Drunken Tales of Gerry MacLean’, follow-up to debut shanty “20 Pints To Cherbourg”.
The Liverpool-via-Limerick duo Tom and Cian O’Dowd deliver a joyful ode to that fella in every Irish pub who lives life on his own chaotic terms. “Full of fight, full of smoke, and full of fierce love for a drink, Gerry MacLean is not a cautionary tale to Tom and Cian – he is a legend”, say the lads.
The Guzzlers add: “Every Irish man and woman is born with greatness in them… but there’s usually three things always standing in the way… a bit of fightin’, a bit of smokin’, and a fierce love for the bit of drinkin’. Instead of feeling shame about it this song embraces it all with a warm heart because deep down there’s a bit of Gerry MacLean in all of us … and if there isn’t, you probably know a fella exactly like him!”
The track arrives as The Guzzlers continue to cement their reputation as one of the most exciting live acts on the circuit, with a residency at Anfield playing for Liverpool FC fans, headline shows at The Jacaranda and The Cavern Club, and a run of dates alongside The Highstool Prophets at the end of the year.
In December last year, they entered the studio with producer Jon Withnall (Coldplay, Rihanna, Echo and the Bunnymen), emerging with “Drinking The Dream”, a debut album packed with autobiographical songs inspired by the greats of Irish folk, but with their own unique and intoxicating charm.
Live Dates:
December 13th – Manchester, O2 Ritz (with Highstool Prophets)
