FARRAH – Cut Out And Keep
The world of music is littered sadly with bands and artists who should have made a bigger hit than they did. Farrah were one such band.
The lead singer, Jez Ashurst, is also a producer and songwriter. He written songs recorded by Boyzone, Will Young, Brian McFadden and Hanson amongst others.
Their last release to date is a cover of Europe’s ‘The Final Countdown’ on the ‘Guilt By Association Vol. 3’ and prior to that, their 2010 self-titled album. In a Facebook post from January 2016 they stated they were back, followed by a similar post on Instagram in November of the same year, but alas, nothing to be seen or heard since…
This fresh faced reviewer (that’d be me then! Ed.) rather loved this album upon its original release –
“Wow! Farrah have made their best album to date with this their third release. For those who love quirky pop rock like XTC, Cheap Trick, anything featuring Willie Dowling and Jellyfish coupled with a little ELO and Fountains Of Wayne then buy this CD ASAP.”
