In the last two years, the boys from Tuam have blazed back phoenix-like from almost two decades of unsung glory. Out of the blue, their rambunctious cover of The Sugababes' 'About You Now' hit the top spot in Ireland. This then prompted the release of their Best of collection 'To Win Just Once - Best of The Saw Doctors' which debuted at Number 3 in the Irish charts last year and went on to achieve platinum status.
Fronted by two criminally under-rated songwriters, Leo Moran and Davy Carton, this is the band that entered the record books back in 1990 when 'I Useta Lover' spent nine weeks at number one, becoming Ireland's best-selling single of all time. They followed up with the No 2 hit, 'N17', and a chart-topping album, 'If This Is Rock And Roll, I Want My Old Job Back' which showcased their upbeat humour infused tunes.
Their irresistibly singable songs such as 'To Win Just Once', 'Hay Wrap,/i>' and 'Same Oul' Town' combined with their stormingly exuberant live shows are highly recommended.
The band will also be appearing at Glastonbury, V Festival and Oxegen this year. In conjunction with their Glastonbury appearance they will be releasing a brand new single from their yet untitled new album due out in August.
