Shindig! Since releasing the first volume of McWilliams work (The Days Of David McWilliams RPM 225 ) events overtook us, and he sadly died in 2002. After a respectful delay we continued our work on volume 2 with the co-operation of his daughter and estate. Whilst volume 1 focused on his 'Hit ' period, volume 2 now offers a representation from across his entire career, beginning with his first single in 1966, followed by more choice cuts from his Major Minor label career 1967-1969, then songs from the early 1970's when albums were released by Dawn, his major label signing with EMI in the mid-late 1970's, ending with the last recordings released during the 1980's. The early 1970's period is represented by 8 recordings of McWilliams that are previously unreleased. Some were songs he later re-recorded for Daw, others remained on the reel -to- reel. All are quintessential McWilliams, personal lyrics with a heartfelt performance. The package includes photos from the McWilliams archive and a biographical essay from Irish music writer John O'Regan and also 8 previously unreleased tracks.
