I went down to Whelan’s a couple of weekends ago to catch the Nordie double header of Cashier no.9 and Escape Act. Escape Act were great but Cashier no. 9 were playing from a different sheet. Every song was of a very high standard and every song had something to hold onto, whether it was a hook, a guitar riff, a unique drum beat (Seriously the drummer was one of the best drummers just to watch play I had seen in a long time). It makes me wonder with all the great music coming out of the North why there isn’t a music blog covering it? Does anyone know of one?
Cashier no. 9 have a new video for ‘When Jackie Shone’. This video is “The Chart Show” quality but the song is miles above that.

This has made my day…im so glad that this band are putting out good videos to match their great songs. One of the best things to come out of Northern Ireland in ages.
Mucho Danke. 1st April. http://www.muchodanke.com.
I made the video. The budget was a sandwich and bottle of lemonade. The hardware used was a CCTV camera and a VHS to PC converter and an MX10 video mixer hence the quality.
Watch in high quality to improve audio and video quality…
