Thomas Walsh - The Rest Is History (2023)

What you have in your hands right now is disgusting!! Put it away, relax those fingers and pick up the debut Solo Album from Ivor Novello, Choice Music & Meteor Music award nominee Thomas Walsh entitled 'The Rest Is History' (Curation Records).

Previously known as 'Pugwash' and ⅔'s of 'The Duckworth Lewis Method' with Neil Hannon, Mr. Walsh has decided to fly solo and drop his pop bombs onto an unsuspecting public.

Featuring 11 tracks of varying pop flavours, from the melodic shuffling Neil Hannon co-written opener 'A Good Day For Me' all the way to the orchestral Abbey Road Studio 2 splendour of 'We Knew'.

What you get at all points in-between are heavy pop (Everyone Back In The Water, Just Another Lesson In Life) waltzing wondrousness (Love In A Circumstance, Born Of Kamchatka) jangular jittering jems (All This Hurt - featuring Joe Elliot, Take Your Time - featuring Michael Penn, Man Lies Down Again - featuring Neil Hannon on a rocking lead guitar solo!) to the tribal seriousness of 'To Be That Child Again' and the Pagan pageantry of 'This Is My Fortress'.
