In their own words….
“with all these singer songwriters in waiting it can be hard to stand out from the crowd. Thankfully Brian Canavan does that and more….. A genuine song-writing talent” – Hotpress Magazine
Our aim in Brian Canavan and The Difference Engine is to write extraordinary music and lyrics about issues that people not only understand but find engaging as well– waking up with a hangover, covered in mysterious bruises or falling in love with a quiz show host or sitting in the dole office, listing reasons why you should love yourself (Go, Counting Me Down and 4 Foolscap Pages). The songs are a handbook on how not to get laid, how not to be popular and why sometimes you should keep your thoughts to yourself. Another unique thing about our band is the trumpet which warms every song and gives it an energy that other bands don’t have.
We had 4 ORIGINAL songs played on the Ray D’Arcy Show – the most popular daytime radio programme in Ireland – who said Brian was a unique songwriting talent. The Star newspaper described our songs as inspiring uplifting pop and Live 95FM said the album was an absolute gem. They then organised a headline gig for us in Dolans – the main venue in Limerick
Brilliant tune! Hope I get to see you on the GIG!
Quote from your own song -”You light up the sky with your name”.
Best of luck Brian!
