The first real Michaels gig - atop a cliff in Sutton. Accompanied by The Ozark Roadshw and Neill Petty and the Heartbreak Kids, the Michaels headlined this epic party for Eefs birthday. The vibe was amazing .
An important gig in Michaels history - the wedding of Hugh Jones and Ruth Drennan. The groom actually filled in as a bass player!
The Michaels flew to the land of the Nuraghi in Feb 2004 for the General's 21st birthday- Establishing a unique Sardinian fan base, and coming home with a new song based on the venture, it seems to have been worthwhile.
In stark contrast to the previous two projects, the Michaels spent almost two months on this one! Recording tracks at parties and jam sessions wherever they went, and picking up a new member along the way, they came out with some usable material. Much of which was added to in the studio to create a well rounded, ethnic sound.
Aroundabout, the second of the Michaels inspirational projects, was recorded on the spot in various locations around the town of Portmarnock, Co.Dublin. This CD exclusively features Bobby Jacoby and the General. Recorded, Friday 17th October 2003 between 10.45pm and 2.30am
The 11 hours project saw the band writing and recording through the night to produce an entire collection of brand new songs as well as artwork design & production in 11 hours. The CD was completed at 7.35am on August 11th 2003, and the band michaels' @ maximum were born.
