As far as debut album’s go, Alex Clare has already stirred up quite a fuss in the underground scene. Prior to the release of ‘The Lateness of the Hour’ Alex has had three singles and four videos to his name, not bad at all for the Island Records singer. The only way to define Alex Clare would be along the lines of a mixture of extremely soulful vocals, to be the envy of many singer/songwriters in the business, smoothly incorporated with heavy bass lines, courtesy of producers Diplo & Switch. On the surface this creation appears to be the next big thing, but looking deeper to the whole album, plenty more work needs to be put in by Mr. Clare to truly make it big.

Now, I could begin this review with a short anecdote of how I once met a pre-fame Benjamin Francis Leftwich. It was at Green Man Festival last year, we shared some pre-festival drinks and discussed his dissapointment with The Flaming Lips, but I won’t bore you. In less than a year since then things have exploded for Leftwich. He’s been championed by Zane Lowe and Greg James on Radio 1 and is currently preparing for summer festivals including Green Man and perhaps most impressively Glastonbury.

Day One
Things were all set for a storming start to Finsbury Park’s inaugural London Feis festival, which marked 21 years since festival founder Vince Power brought his raucous Irish musical tastes to North London with the first Fleadh in 1990. Storming that is, in every sense of the word. Yes we were to be treated to birthday boy BOB DYLAN’s only UK performance of the year, and have a Sunday send-off with the world’s grumpiest Irishman VAN MORRISON, but the clouds looked like they could have come straight over from the soggy Irish moors.

So the band that brought us the pop classics ‘Fill My Little World’ and 'I Love It When You Call’ have gone all serious on us. Gone are the unashamedly catchy pop songs that won the band Brit and Q Award nominations and helped them sell two million records. The Feeling’s third album is a more modest affair and sees them attempt to explore their melancholy side.
